Peninsula:
an area of land almost completely surrounded by water except for an isthmus connecting it with the mainland.
If it is surrounded by water on all sides, it is an island.

Peni(n)sula is a land mass semi-surrounded by a body of water. It is more of a landmass projection from the mainland. It is semi-isolated as well.

A peninsula is a land surrounded by water on one side and land by the other three sides. Comapte this with 'island.'

Yes, it's a piece of land almost surrounded by water. The word comes from Latin "paeninsula," which in turn comes from "paene" ("almost") and "insula" ("island").

Spelled Peninsula.
It is a landmass surrounded by water on all sides, or almost all sides.
Take Florida for example.
