Definition
Fortified or strengthened with bastions, which are projecting parts of a fortification designed for defense.
Etymology
From 'bastion,' which comes from Italian 'bastione,' possibly derived from an old Germanic or Celtic root meaning 'bundle of rods.' The prefix 'em-' means 'to provide with' or 'to furnish.'
Kelly Says
Medieval military engineers designed bastions as a game-changer in fortress architecture—their angled, jutting design let defenders shoot along the walls and eliminate blind spots, making them far more effective than traditional straight walls.
