- 1Plural of summit.
The expedition mapped the highest summits along the entire ridge.

Note
A plain plural that carries every meaning of the singular with it. Besides mountain peaks, it can name the vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, the high points of a canal, railway or road, and, figuratively, the heights of achievement. Only context separates a geometer's summits from a climber's. The obsolete botanical use for anthers belongs to older texts and is best left there.
