Why this word is great
HYPOSTYLE — [Adjective] Having a roof supported by a row of columns. From the Greek hypo- ("under") + stylos ("pillar, column"), hence "under columns." Unlike "peristyle" (which frames a space from without) or "colonnade" (which stands as ornament or boundary), "hypostyle" is structural, the hidden labor of architecture. It is the forest of stone in a pharaoh’s temple, the hushed nave of a medieval cloister, the ribbed vault of a train station’s iron canopy—the silent, enduring act of holding up the sky.
