chambranle
Sjabrang tror jeg er et et flamst låneord brukt på norsk, men som egentlig kommer fra det franske "chambranle".
Fra en nettsisde om murerfaget:
A chambranle is a type of trim used to frame various architectural elements in the home. This French term can be translated to English as "jamb" or "frame." In France and other parts of Europe, chambranle typically refers to a standard door or window casing. In the United States, however, this term is used to describe a more elaborate style of frame, while basic modern frames are simply referred to as molding or trim
