- 1海岬、岬角
A headland is a piece of land that sticks out from the coast into the sea, often high, with cliffs, and with water on more than one side. Walkers, sailors, and map-readers use the word. It is not a whole island, and it is not just any hill inland; it belongs to the edge of the land, like a “head” pushing into the water. Though actually, farmers also use headland for the strip at the end of a field where the tractor turns around — same old picture of a “head” of land, but far from the sea. In most school English, the sea meaning is the one you will meet first.

組成From Old English hēafodland (“boundary, headland”), which is head + land. English kept this and let go of an old French loan, chevicir, that once meant the same kind of thing.
