Definition
In classical architecture, the upper structure or entablature that sits directly on top of columns; the horizontal framework resting on columns.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi-' (upon) + Latin 'stylus' (column), literally meaning 'upon the columns,' describing the architectural framework above columns in temples and buildings.
Kelly Says
Ancient Greek temples are like Lego—each part has a name because architects had to specify exactly how each piece related to the others for perfect proportions.
