clerestoryn.

/ˈklɪəstɔːri/

Forms: Also Middle English clerstory, clarestory, 1500s clerestorey, (1600s clarester), 1700s cleer story, Middle English–1800s clear story, 1800s clearstory.

Etymology: Commonly believed to be < clere, clear adj., adv., and n. + storey n. stage of a building, ‘floor’ of a house. (Clere must here have meant ‘light, lighted,’ since the sense ‘free, unobstructed’ did not yet exist: see clear adj.) This assumed derivation is strengthened by the parallel blind-story (see blind adj. Compounds), although this may have been a later formation in imitation of clere-story. The great difficulty is the non-appearance of story in the sense required before c1600, and the absence of all trace of it in any sense in 14th, 15th, and chief part of 16th cent. At the same time there is a solitary instance of storys in R. Glouc. (1724) 181, which may mean ‘elevated structure’ or ‘fortified place’. The noun estorie in Old French had no such sense, but the past participle estoré meant ‘built, constructed, founded, established, instituted, fortified, furnished, fitted out’, whence a noun with the sense ‘erection, fortification’ might perhaps arise.

Architecture.

a. The upper part of the nave, choir, and transepts of a cathedral or other large church, lying above the triforium (or, if there is no triforium, immediately over the arches of the nave, etc.), and containing a series of windows, clear of the roofs of the aisles, admitting light to the central parts of the building.
