wings
A wing; specifically, the appendage of a bird or other flying creature that enables flight. By extension, used as a metaphor for covering, protection, or the upper extremity of something that spreads outward, such as the 'wings' of the cherubim over the Ark or outstretched architectural features. The primary lexical meaning is the physical wing, but the notion of spreading or sheltering is present in some contexts.
