causeway

Các nghĩa

1. đường đắp cao

   A road that is raised so as to be above water, marshland, and similar low-lying obstacles, which in some cases may flood periodically (e.g. due to tides). Originally causeways were much like dykes, generally pierced to let water through, whereas many modern causeways are more like bridges or viaducts.

   Egbert went quickly up to the causeway into the castle, where they heard the sentry sing out as usual, ‘Halt, who goes there?’
