WHAT DOES ARC-BOUTANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Flying buttress

A flying buttress is a specific form of buttressing most strongly associated with Gothic church architecture. The purpose of any buttress is to resist the lateral forces pushing a wall outwards by redirecting them to the ground. The defining characteristic of a flying buttress is that the buttress is not in contact with the wall like a traditional buttress; lateral forces are transmitted across an intervening space between the wall and the buttress. Flying buttress systems have two key components - a massive vertical masonry block on the outside of the building and a segmental or quadrant arch bridging the gap between that buttress and the wall.
