Fenestral

/fɛˈnɛstrəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or resembling a window or windows; having the quality or characteristics of windows.

Etymology

From Latin 'fenestra' (window) plus the adjectival suffix '-al'; used in anatomy and architecture to describe window-like features.

Kelly Says

Architects use 'fenestral design' to describe how windows are arranged in a building, and it's the same root word that describes openings in ancient reptile skulls!
