tran-sept
Definition
- n. - 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 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.
- noun - Structure forming the transverse part of a cruciform church; crosses the nave at right angles
