¶ In 1843 MM. Mérimée & Lenoir (Archit. Mil. au Moyen-Age) fancifully applied the name moucharaby to a kind of balcony projecting from the walls of certain European mediæval castles. It does not appear that this application of the word ever had any actual currency either in Fr. or Eng.; but moucharaby was inserted with this explanation (its proper sense being ignored) in Ogilvie's Imperial Dictionary (1850), and the entry has been copied with verbal alterations and expansions into various later Eng. Dicts. |
