\Tra*mon"tane\, a. [OF. tramontain, It. tramontano,
L. transmontanus; trans across, beyond + mons, montis,
mountain.]
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}.

\Tra*mon"tane\, n.

stranger.
