Isthmus

（ἰσθμός). A small neck of land which joins a country to another and prevents the sea from making them separate, such as that of Corinth joining the Peloponnesus to Greece prior to 1893, when it was cut by a canal. This is often called “the Isthmus” by way of eminence. See Corinthiacus Isthmus.
