English
Etymology
From one thousand + -er.
Noun
one-thousander (plural one-thousanders)
- Any mountain on Earth that extends more than 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) but less than 2,000 metres (6,562 ft) above sea level.
2015 December 18, Adam Taylor, “The Norwegian plan to gift Finland a mountain”, in The Washington Post:If you judge countries purely by their mountainous terrain, Finland is a bit of a loser. Halti, Finland's tallest, is around 1,324 meters, or about 4,340 feet, making it a "one-thousander" as it is over a thousand meters above sea level. That may sound impressive, but bear in mind that the tallest peak in the United States is a six-thousander and Mount Everest is a eight-thousander.
