Oriel \O"ri*el\, n. [OF. oriol gallery, corridor, LL. oriolum
portico, hall, prob. fr. L. aureolus gilded, applied to an
apartment decorated with gilding. See {Oriole}.] [Formerly
written also {oriol}, {oryal}, {oryall}.]
1. A gallery for minstrels. [Obs.] --W. Hamper.

2. A small apartment next a hall, where certain persons were
accustomed to dine; a sort of recess. [Obs.] --Cowell.

3. (Arch.) A bay window. See {Bay window}.

Make prisms in every carven glass. --Tennyson.

Note: There is no generally admitted difference between a bay

name is often applied to bay windows which are small,
and either polygonal or round; also, to such as are
corbeled out from the wall instead of resting on the
ground.
