Bressomer

/ˈbrɛsəmər/ noun

Definition

A large horizontal timber or beam that spans an opening and supports the weight of a wall or structure above it; also spelled 'bressummer.'

Etymology

From Middle English, possibly from Old French 'bresandus' or a similar term. The exact origin is uncertain, but it may relate to braced structures or supporting beams in construction.

Kelly Says

In old buildings, the bressomer (or bressummer) is a critical architectural element—it's the sturdy beam you'll see sitting above shop windows in medieval town centers, supporting the weight of heavy stone and timber above.
