Why “concamerate” is a great word

CONCAMERATE — [Verb] To arch or vault over, or to divide into chambers or compartments. From Latin concamerātus, past participle of concamerāre ("to arch over"), from con- ("together, thoroughly") + camera ("vault, arched roof, chamber"). Unlike "vault," which names the completed structure, or "partition," which suggests a flat division, to concamerate is the active shaping of hollow space into covered enclosures. It is the mason's thumb pressing mortar into a curving seam, the beaver's instinctive engineering of compartmentalized lodges, and the geologic patience that carves echoing galleries into limestone—the art of turning void into a sequence of sheltered interiors.

Etymology

From Latin concameratus, past participle of concamero (“to arch over”), from con- + camera (“chamber, vault”). See camber.
