WHAT DOES CRENEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

crenel

Battlement

A battlement in defensive architecture, such as that of city walls or castles, comprises a parapet, in which rectangular gaps or indentations occur at intervals to allow for the discharge of arrows or other missiles from within the defences. These gaps are termed "crenels", and the act of adding crenels to a previously unbroken parapet is termed crenellation. Thus a defensive building might be designed and built with battlements, or a manor house might be fortified by adding battlements, where no parapet previously existed, or cutting crenellations into its existing parapet wall. The solid widths between the crenels are called merlons. A wall with battlements is said to be crenelated or embattled. Battlements on walls have protected walkways behind them. On tower or building tops, the roof is used as the protected fighting platform.

Definition of crenel in the English dictionary

The definition of crenel in the dictionary is any of a set of openings formed in the top of a wall or parapet and having slanting sides, as in a battlement.
