Definition
The upper horizontal timber or threshold that frames the top of a doorway or window opening.
Etymology
From Middle English 'head' (top part) and 'sill' (threshold or bottom beam). The word combines Old English 'heafod' with Old English 'syll,' reflecting the practice of naming architectural elements by their position relative to the structure.
Kelly Says
Headsills are the 'eyebrows' of doors and windows—they're usually the first thing you notice when looking at a building's face, and they often carry ornamental molding that reveals whether a house was built in the Victorian era, Colonial period, or modern times.
