"Peak of the mound" is one English equivalent of the French name Pointe du Hoc.Specifically, the feminine noun pointe is "peak, point, tip." The word du means "of the" from the combination of the preposition de ("of") and the masculine singular definite article le ("the"). The masculine noun Hoc remains of uncertain etymology although suggested translations include "mound."The pronunciation will be "pwehnt dyoo ohk" in French.
D-Day was fought on 6 beaches in Normandy, France. The beaches were; Sword Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Utah Beach and Omaha Beach.
The meaning of hoc is "this" in place of a noun (with hoc being the pronoun). An example of hoc being used in a phrase is ad hoc which means "for this", such as an ad hoc committee or a committee created for a specific purpose or outcome.
"Ad hoc" refers to anything temporary or made for a specific purpose. So an ad hoc system may be used for an unencountered problem, or an ad hoc committee to settle certain issues (took me three minutes to write this).
