Encyclopedia > Gambrel

A gambrel is a symmetrical two sided roof with two slopes, the upper slope being less steep. The name comes the Medieval Latin word "gamba" meaning "hoof", or leg of an animal. Symmetry is a characteristic of geometrical shapes, equations and other objects; we say that such an object is symmetric with respect to a given operation if this operation, when applied to the object, does not appear to change it. ... The Middle Ages formed the middle period in a traditional schematic division of European history into three ages: the classical civilization of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and modern times, beginning with the Renaissance. ... Latin is an Indo-European language originally spoken in the region around Rome called Latium. ...
