Comble

/kɒmbl/ noun

Definition

The roof space or attic of a building, especially in French architecture; also used as a verb meaning 'to fill up or complete.'

Etymology

From Old French comble, from Latin cumulus meaning 'heap' or 'pile.' In architecture, it refers to the uppermost peaked part of a roof structure where materials accumulate.

Kelly Says

French architects distinguished between different roof spaces—'combles' are specifically the peaked attic areas where heat rises, making them prized spaces that were often rented separately!
