1550年代,“篱笆,围墙”,也指“堤坝”(这个意义可能受到 mount(名词)的影响),这是一个起源不明的词。名词和动词之间的关系不确定。
通常被认为来自中古英语 mounde “手; 监护,权力”,源自古英语 mund(与拉丁语 manus 同源),但这并不确定(牛津英语词典因意义而不予考虑)。也许这是本土词汇和中古荷兰语 mond “保护”之间的混淆,用于各种类型的防御工事,包括土方工程。
从1726年开始,“土方工程”(如在坟墓上方的土堆); 1810年作为“自然低洼地”。作为棒球场上投手站立的地方,从1912年开始使用。在1838年之前,“Mound-builder”指“密西西比河流域的史前种族,建造了广泛的土方工程”。
在中古英语中, mounde 还表示“世界”,源自古法语 monde,源自拉丁语 mundus(参见 mundane)。
