fenestra
Anatomical wall aperture
Fenestra is a technical term for an opening or window-like aperture, used primarily in anatomy and architecture.
In anatomy, it refers to small openings in bones or organs: the fenestra ovalis in the ear, or fenestrations in blood vessel walls.
In architecture, fenestration describes the arrangement of windows in a building.
The word is Latin for window.
