cantilevered
Fixed at one end
Cantilevered describes something supported at only one end, with the other end projecting into space without additional support.
A cantilevered balcony extends from a building wall; a cantilevered diving board is anchored at one end.
The design appears in architecture, engineering, and furniture: a cantilevered staircase, cantilevered shelves.
The structure relies on the anchored portion bearing the load of the projecting section.
