oriel 凸窗来自古法语oriol,走廊，门廊，来自拉丁语oriolum,大厅，可能来自aureolus,镀金的，来自PIE*aus,金黄色的，词源同aurora,ormolu.后用于指凸窗。
- oriel (n.)
- "large recessed window," mid-14c., from Old French oriol "hall, vestibule; oriel," of uncertain origin, perhaps from Medieval Latin oriolum "porch, gallery" (mid-13c.), perhaps from Vulgar Latin *auraeolum, dissimilated from aulaeolum, a diminutive of Latin aulaeum "curtain." Despite much research, the sense evolution remains obscure.
