Architectural term describing an arch or structure that has hances; featuring the curved transitions where an arch meets supporting walls.
Past participle or adjectival form of 'hance,' indicating something that has been constructed with or possesses hances, the curved architectural elements.
You can spot a hanced arch by looking at how smoothly the arch curves into the wall—it's the architectural equivalent of a well-designed handlebar curve rather than a sharp corner!
