    Bank/origin
    Message from bank posted on 12-05-2013 at 15:18:51 (D | E | F)
    Hello!

    I know that the word "bank" has many different meanings. One of them is a piled-up mass.
    Could you please tell me from which language and from which word this meaning of the word "bank" came from? And what is the difference between any piled-up mass, heap, mound and the "bank"?

    It is impossible to get this difference. I hoped you could answer more clearly in your own words.

    a long raised mass, esp of earth; mound; ridge
    a slope, as of a hill
    Which is the difference between a bank and all these mounds, ridges, slopes and hills?
