EASILS


Explanation:
"easils" = is the exact English term (for plural).

However, all other answers will do and are more understandable.
The term means merely a support in the shape of a strong wooden nor metal tridimensional grid or some kind of frame.

Good luck!

"Caballete" comes from "caballo" = horse.

Good luck!
