Mountain formation (6)

I believe the answer is:

massif

'mountain formation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for massif that I've seen before include "Highland area?" , "Geological mountain formation" , "Geographical formation" , "mountain peak" , "French mountain range" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
