 ul·tra·mon·tane /-ˈmɑnˌten, ˌmɑnˈ/
 (a.)山那邊的

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Ul·tra·mon·tane a.  Being beyond the mountains; specifically, being beyond the Alps, in respect to the one who speaks.
 Note:This term was first applied, somewhat contemptuously, by the Italians, to the nations north of the Alps, especially the Germans and French, their painters, jurists, etc.  At a later period, the French and Germans applied it to the Italians.  It is now more particularly used in respect to religious matters; and ultramontane doctrines, when spoken of north of the Alps, denote the extreme views of the pope's rights and supremacy maintained by Bellarmin and other Italian writers.

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Ul·tra·mon·tane, n.
 1. One who resides beyond the mountains, especially beyond the Alps; a foreigner.
 2. One who maintains extreme views favoring the pope's supremacy. See Ultramontanism.
