width
Side-to-side extent
Width is the measurement of something from side to side, as opposed to its length or height.
A room's width is typically its shorter horizontal dimension.
The word extends to abstract contexts: the width of his knowledge, the width of the political spectrum.
Something can have width in the sense of broadness or scope.
