volcano特指主要由喷出的熔岩和火山灰堆积而成的圆锥形火山。
mountain通常指比hill高而陡的高山、山岳。但这种区别不是绝对的,“大”与“小”常常是相对而言。
range形成的山脉或岭。
mount常用于地名之前, 即一般放在专用名词前,书面用词。
peak指山峰,也可指山顶。

"自然的隆起,高度多少不等但很明显",公元1200年左右,源自古法语 montaigne(现代法语 montagne),来自通俗拉丁语 *montanea “山,山区”,名词用法的女性形式 *montaneus “山的,多山的”,来自拉丁语 montanus “多山的,有关山的”,来自 mons(格位为 montis)“山”(源自 PIE 基础词根 *men- (2)“突起”)
直到18世纪,只要突出的地形不算太高(如 Sussex Downs 或巴黎周围的山丘),就应用此词; 参见 hill(n.)作为形容词的用法是指“在山上或山脉上”,始于14世纪晚期。
Mountain dew “粗劣低廉的威士忌”最早见于1839年; 此前是一种苏格兰威士忌(1816年); 詹姆森(Jamieson)在他1825年苏格兰词典的“补编”中专门将其定义为“苏格兰高地威士忌的黑话术语,未缴税” Mountain-climber 记录于1839年; mountain-climbing 记录于1836年。Mountain laurel 来自1754年; mountain-lion 的意思是“美洲豹”,来自1849年的美国英语; 西部美国的山狮在1841年以这个名字被称为 mountain goat(到1827年被称为 Rocky Mountain goat)。

Middle English montaine, monteine, mounteyne, borrowed from Anglo-French muntaine, monteigne, mountaigne "elevated region, mountain range, mountain" (also continental Old French, Middle French montagne), going back to Vulgar Latin *montānea, from Latin mont-, mons "mountain, hill" + Vulgar Latin *-ānea, collective suffix, from neuter plural of Latin -āneus (from -ānus -an >entry 2 + -eus -eous) — more at mount >entry 1
