PENINSULATE Meaning and Definition

1. Peninsulate is a verb that refers to the act of turning an area or landmass into a peninsula. It can also mean the process of isolating or separating an area by converting it into a peninsula.

   When applied to geographical features, peninsulate implies the alteration of an area through natural or artificial means to create a peninsula. This can involve actions such as the formation of a land bridge between a previously attached area and a larger landmass, the excavation of a canal or waterway to separate a section of land, or the erosion of land over time to transform it into a peninsula.

   In a figurative sense, peninsulate can be used to describe the isolation of a specific area or group of people. This can occur through various means, such as cutting off access routes or creating physical barriers that effectively make the area resemble a peninsula.

   The term peninsulate derives from the word 'peninsula,' which refers to a piece of land that is surrounded by water on three sides but is still connected to a larger landmass on one side. Therefore, the use of peninsulate emphasizes the act or process of forming or isolating such a land formation.

2. To form into a peninsula.
