A decorative or architectural element; possibly a variant of balmoral or a regional term for a type of ornament or structure.
Etymology is uncertain; may be related to 'balmoral' or derived from a place name, but the original meaning and usage have become obscured through time.
Balmony is a word that's lost its footing—it appears in comprehensive historical dictionaries but you won't find it in actual use, making it a fascinating fossil of English's expansive but partly forgotten vocabulary!
