What is the meaning of Triglyph?

(n.) An ornament in the frieze of the Doric order, repeated at equal intervals. Each triglyph consists of a rectangular tablet, slightly projecting, and divided nearly to the top by two parallel and perpendicular gutters or channels, called glyphs, into three parts or spaces, called femora. A half channel or glyph, is also cut upon each of the perpendicular edges of the tablet. See Illust. of Entablature.
