Etymology
The word high-altitude is made of high and altitude, and altitude comes from the old Latin root altus meaning 'high', so the phrase is like 'high-high' and easy to remember as 'very high above sea level'. That's why we call hiking, balloons, or research high-altitude when they happen far above the ground.
