Ness is an old, rare word for a piece of land that sticks out into the sea — a or cape. It survives today mostly inside place names rather than as a word people use on its own: Loch Ness (the famous Scottish lake) and towns like Sheerness or Skegness in England all end in this old word, marking a point of land by the water. Most modern English speakers would not use 'ness' on its own in conversation, but they will recognize it as part of these place names.
海岬、岬角（罕用，多見於地名字尾，如 Loch Ness）
組成from Old Norse nes (headland, promontory)
