- spandrel (n.)
[spandrel 词源字典]
- "triangular space between the outer curve of an arch and the molding enclosing it," late 15c., apparently a diminutive of Anglo-French spaundre (late 14c.), which is of uncertain origin, perhaps a shortening of Old French espandre "to expand, extend, spread," from Latin expandre (see expand).[spandrel etymology, spandrel origin, 英语词源]
