hornwork
This term belongs to a specialized military architectural lexicon, specifically referring to the bastioned fortifications common from the 16th to the 19th centuries. It describes a specific geometric layout intended to push the defensive perimeter outward, thereby keeping enemy artillery further from the primary walls.
Because it is a technical term of historical engineering, it is rarely encountered in modern conversation and is almost exclusively found in historical texts, military treatises, or architectural studies of Vauban-style fortifications.
