A cornice is a strip of wood, plaster, or stone that runs along the top of a wall, just under the ceiling, or along the top of a building on the outside. It is there to look finished and often a little grand; it does not hold the wall up. Inside a house you might see a simple white cornice where the wall meets the ceiling. On old buildings it can be and heavy. In American home shops people often say crown for that indoor strip; cornice is the more general word, used by builders and designers more than in everyday talk. Though actually, also use cornice for a hanging edge of snow on a mountain ridge — the same idea of a lip sticking out — but the sense here is the decorative strip. The word has nothing to do with or with ice.
組成From Middle French corniche or Italian cornice, possibly from Latin cornīx (“crow”) or from Latin coronis (“curved line, a flourish in writing”), from Ancient Greek κορωνίς (korōnís). See also corniche.
