peninsula
A peninsula ((ラテン語:paeninsula) from ''paene'' "almost" and ''insula'' "island") is a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland. The surrounding water is usually understood to belong to a single contiguous body, but is not always explicitly defined as such.
A peninsula can also be a headland, cape, island promontory, bill, point, or spit.〔(Peninsula. – Britannica Student Encyclopedia. 2007 ). Encyclopædia Britannica, Retrieved 2007-07-19.〕 A point is generally considered a tapering piece of land projecting into a body of water that is less prominent than a cape.〔http://travelingluck.com/Africa/Sierra%20Leone/Northern/_2409328_Fourah+Point.html#local_map〕 In English, the plural of peninsula is ''peninsulas'' or, less commonly, ''peninsulae''.
