WHAT DOES POTERNA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Poterna

Poterna

Poternally, in military architecture, it is a secondary gate, concealed in the walls of a castle or fortress, leading to the outside, allowing the occupants of the premises, to leave or enter without attracting attention or being seen. By extension the same name is assigned to a passage allowing the infantry to drive from one point to another of a fort or between several forts, without being discovered, or to the passages in the curtains of the brawny fortresses. During a siege, a potern could function as both a door to escape and to make incursions to the besieging troops. The name derives from the Latin posterula, diminutive of the Latin posterus, that is, situated behind, in a hidden place.
