That discussion is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
“Everest” (a Mountain whose name became a Metaphor for 'a Great Peak of Future Accomplishment to be Summited') is named after India's surveyor Sir George Everest, a name of a family from Evereux in Eure, Normandy (a city named after the Gaulish tribe that settled the area---the Eburovices).
