cordilleran.

/kɔːdɪˈljɛːrə/

Forms: (In 1700s rarely cordelier).

Etymology: Spanish = mountain-chain, ‘the running along of a rocke in great length’ (Minsheu 1599), < cordilla, in Old Spanish string, rope, diminutive of cuerda < Latin chorda cord, rope.

A mountain chain or ridge, one of a series of parallel ridges; in plural applied originally by the Spanish to the parallel chains of the Andes in South America (las Cordilleras de los Andes), subsequently extended to the continuation of the same system through Central America and Mexico.Some geographers in the U.S. have proposed to transfer the name to the more or less parallel chains of the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada, with their intervening ridges and tablelands, termed by them the Cordilleran region; but this is not approved of by European geographers.
