trans across, beyond + mons, montis, mountain.] Lying or being beyond
the mountains; coming from the other side of the mountains; hence,
foreign; barbarous.
The Italians sometimes use this epithet for ultramontane, and apply it
to the countries north of the Alps, as France and Germany, and
especially to their ecclesiastics, jurists, painters, etc.; and a north
wind is called a tramontane wind. The French lawyers call certain
Italian canonists tramontane, or ultramontane, doctors; considering
them as favoring too much the court of Rome. See Ultramontane.
