G. Scott Lect. Mediæval Archit. (1879) I. vii. 283 The two systems may be distinguished as rere-arch windows and through-arch windows—i.e., those in which the inner is distinct from the outer arch, and those in which the same arch runs through the wall, showing itself more or less similarly on its outer and inner faces. In thick walls and rich work there is often another order of through-arch within the tracery order, or rather the outer order re-appears within. 2001 R. White & R. Darwall-Smith Archit.
