T-shape
Three-way intersection form
A T-shape is the form of the letter T—a vertical line meeting a horizontal one at its top.
The term describes anything with this configuration: a T-shape intersection, a T-shape desk arrangement.
In professional contexts, T-shaped skills combine deep expertise in one area (the vertical) with broad knowledge across others (the horizontal): Companies value T-shaped employees who can collaborate across teams.
