A transept is a transverse part of any building, which lies across the main body of the building. In cruciform churches, in particular within the Romanesque and Gothic Christian church architectural traditions, a transept is an area set crosswise to the nave.

Related Definition

  1. transept:

    n (architecture) The transversal part of a church, which crosses at right angles to the greatest length, and between the nave and choir. In the basilicas, this had often no projection at its two ends. In Gothic churches these project greatly, and should be called the arms of the transept. It is common, however, to speak of the arms themselves as the transepts.
