transept

== English == === Etymology === From French transept, from New Latin transeptum, from Latin trans- (“across”) + saeptum (“fence, partition, enclosure”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtɹænsɛpt/, /ˈtɹɑːnsɛpt/ === Noun === transept (plural transepts) (architecture) The transversal part of a church, which crosses at right angles to the greatest length, and between the nave and choir. In the basilicas, this had often no projection at its two ends. In Gothic churches these project greatly, and should be called the arms of the transept. It is common, however, to speak of the arms themselves as the transepts. ==== Derived terms ==== transepted ==== Translations ==== === Anagrams === patterns == French == === Pronunciation === === Noun === transept m (plural transepts) transept === Further reading === “transept”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 == Polish == === Etymology === Borrowed from French transept. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtran.sɛpt/ Rhymes: -ansɛpt Syllabification: tran‧sept === Noun === transept m inan (related adjective transeptowy) (architecture) transept (transversal part of a church, which crosses at right angles to the greatest length, and between the nave and choir) Hypernym: nawa ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === transept in Wielki słownik języka polskiego, Instytut Języka Polskiego PAN transept in Polish dictionaries at PWN transept in PWN's encyclopedia == Romanian == === Etymology === Borrowed from French transept. === Noun === transept n (plural transepturi) transept ==== Declension ==== === References === transept in Academia Română, Micul dicționar academic, ediția a II-a, Bucharest: Univers Enciclopedic, 2010. →ISBN
