bat-wing

Chiropteran limb structure

Bat-wing describes something shaped like the wing of a bat—broad, angular, and often with pointed edges.

It commonly modifies sleeves that are wide at the armhole and taper to the wrist: a bat-wing sweater.

Bat-wing doors are the saloon-style swinging doors that extend only partway down a doorframe.
