windows
Walls' transparent sections
Windows are openings in walls or roofs that let in light and air, typically fitted with glass in a frame.
The plural covers both literal openings the windows of the old church and figurative ones: windows of opportunity.
In computing, windows are rectangular viewing areas on a screen, allowing multiple programs or documents to be visible at once. (Capitalized Windows is Microsoft's operating system.)
