Usage Note
Pendio refers to a sloping stretch of ground — a hillside, ski slope, or gentle incline. The plural is i pendii. It is a neutral geographic term; versante emphasises the face of a mountain, while scarpata implies a steeper, often man-made embankment. Pendio is the most common everyday word for any gentle-to-moderate slope.
Examples
