miters
Bishops' tall hats
Miters are joints formed by cutting two pieces at matching angles—typically 45 degrees—so they meet to form a corner.
Picture frames and door trim use miter joints.
A miter is also the tall ceremonial headdress worn by bishops and abbots, pointed at the top with two peaks.
The verb miter means to cut at an angle for joining: He mitered the molding carefully.
Also spelled mitres in British English.
