hilly
This term describes a landscape defined by frequent elevation changes, evoking a visual of rolling terrain or a series of slopes. It is typically used in a neutral or descriptive sense to characterize geography, often implying a certain level of difficulty for travel or construction compared to flat land.
While it shares a root with hill, the adjective form focuses on the prevalence of these landforms across an area rather than a single peak. It is commonly paired with descriptors of terrain, such as roads or countryside, to signal a lack of level ground.
