Mull (geographical term)

In the field of topography, the term mull is an Anglicization of the Gaelic word maol, a noun that describes a rounded hill, a summit, and a mountain that is bare of trees;[1] maol also is a Gaelic usage that refers to the forehead and to a shaved head; as an adjective, maol describes something that is bare, that is dull, or that is bald.

The Gaelic spellings mullach and mullagh are variants of maol and mull.

In the Dwelly's (Scottish) Gaelic-to-English dictionary defines the word mull as: the top, summit, or extremity of anything.
