ουσιαστικό

a protruding structure that supports a building or wall and is made out of bricks or stones

What is a "buttress"?

A buttress is an architectural feature designed to provide support and stability to a wall or structure. Typically made of stone or brick, a buttress extends from the wall and often has a sloping design that helps distribute the weight and counteract the forces exerted on the structure, especially in tall buildings like cathedrals. Buttresses are commonly seen in Gothic architecture, where they are used to support the weight of high ceilings and large windows. There are different types of buttresses, including flying buttresses, which extend away from the building and are connected by an arch, allowing for more open space and larger windows. Buttresses not only serve a structural purpose but can also add an aesthetic element to the design of a building.

Who is a "connoisseur"?

A connoisseur is someone who has a deep understanding and appreciation for a particular field, especially in areas like art, food, wine, or music.

What is "counterpoint"?

Counterpoint is a musical technique where two or more independent melodies are played or sung together in harmony.

The goal of counterpoint is to create a rich, complex texture where the melodies interact harmoniously, adding depth and interest to the music.

What is a "dénouement"?

A dénouement is the final part of a story where the complexities of the plot are resolved, and the narrative reaches its conclusion. It follows the climax and provides closure by tying up loose ends and addressing any remaining conflicts or questions. In this phase, the consequences of the characters' actions are revealed, and the story's final outcomes are explained. For example, in a mystery novel, the dénouement might reveal the identity of the culprit and explain how the crime was committed.
