The surrounding framework or casing of a doorway, including the architrave and decorative trim that frames a door opening.
From 'door' + 'case' (from Latin 'capsa', meaning 'box' or 'container'). Doorcase is a specific architectural term for the complete frame assembly around a door.
A doorcase is technically the box-shaped structure around the door—and that wooden frame is often more expensive and architecturally important than the actual door, which is why period homes are valued for their original doorcases.
