Wikipedia Wiktionary dictionary logo

  • A buttress is an architectural structure built against (a counterfort) or projecting from a wall which serves to support or reinforce the wall. Buttresses are fairly common on more ancient buildings, as a means of providing support to act against the lateral (sideways) forces arising out of the roof structures that lack adequate bracing. The word buttress, in a more general sense, means to support; one might buttress another person's argument, for instance.
