Architecture / churches
Spanish term or phrase: traste
"La sacristía está cubierta por dos trastes de bóveda de crucería, apoyada en un arco rebajado".

Describe la arquitectura de las distintas dependencias de una iglesia. La palabra "traste" es la que me plantea dificultades.

There are plenty of other references to "frets" in relation to church architecture. My only reservation is that "traste" may not mean this kind of fret, and may refer only to a fret on a guitar. In which case I am very wrong!

Es una sugerencia. Me puedo imaginar en realidad que la sacristía esté cubierta por dos "tramos" o dos "secciones" de bóveda de crucería (la tradicional bóveda del estilo gótico).

Explanation:
Según la RAE

traste1.

(De tastar).


1. m. Cada uno de los resaltos de metal o hueso que se colocan a trechos en el mástil de la guitarra u otros instrumentos semejantes, para que, oprimiendo entre ellos las cuerdas, quede a estas la longitud libre correspondiente a los diversos sonidos.

Por analogía - trecho... stretch. Otra sugerencia.
