Wall
A wall is a structure that defines an area, carries a load, or provides shelter or security. There are many kinds of walls:
Etymology
Wall comes from Latin vallum meaning "...an earthen wall or rampart set with palisades, a row or line of stakes, a wall, a rampart, fortification..." while the Latin word murus means a defensive stone wallEnglish uses the same word to mean an external wall and the internal sides of a room, but this is not universal. Many languages distinguish between the two. In German, some of this distinction can be seen between Wand and Mauer, in Spanish between pared and muro.
Defensive wall
The word wall originally referred to defensive walls and ramparts.
