From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Tra·mon·tane a.  Lying or being beyond the mountains; coming from the other side of the mountains; hence, foreign; barbarous.
 Note:The Italians sometimes use this epithet for ultramontane, and apply it to the countries north of the Alps, as France and Germany, and especially to their ecclesiastics, jurists, painters, etc.; and a north wind is called a tramontane wind. The French lawyers call certain Italian canonists tramontane, or ultramontane, doctors; considering them as favoring too much the court of Rome. See Ultramontane.
