A hill too modest to admit it's showing off.
means A knoll is a small, rounded hill or mound rising gently from the surrounding land.
from From Old English 'cnoll,' meaning the top of a hill or a hillock — a word that has barely changed in over a thousand years. It has cousins across the Germanic family: Dutch 'knol' (a turnip or lump) and German 'Knolle' (a clod or tuber), all circling the same idea of something rounded and bulging up from the ground. Fittingly for such a humble feature, the word never aspired to grandeur — it stayed small, plain, and rounded, just like the thing it names.
