sommità
summit
noun sohm-mee-TAH Rare
Origin: From Latin summitas (highest point), from summus (highest)
Also means
top
Usage Note
Sommità is invariable in the plural — it ends in an accented vowel, so le sommità does not change form. It is a slightly elevated synonym of cima or vetta, used for mountain peaks, architectural tops, and figurative 'pinnacles.' The written accent marks both the stress and the invariable plural.
Examples
"Raggiunsero la sommità della montagna."
Natural Translation
They reached the summit of the mountain.
