window pane

See-through wall section

A window pane is a single sheet of glass fitted into a window frame.

Most windows contain multiple panes separated by muntins or mullions: The old farmhouse had six-over-six window panes.

The term distinguishes the glass itself from the window as a whole.

Also spelled as one word: windowpane.
