Palisade comes from the same root as the word pole, which comes from the Latin word "palus", or "stake" in English. A "palisade" was a defensive fence or wall made up of wooden stakes or tree trunks. As you can see here, the mud, eroded from wind and water, has a form similar to lined up tree trucks close together.
