Moorish
\Moor"ish\, a. [See 1st
Moor, and cf.
Morris,
Moresque.]
Of or pertaining to Morocco or the Moors; in the style of the
Moors.
[1913 Webster]
Moorish architecture, the style developed by the Moors in
the later Middle Ages, esp. in Spain, in which the arch
had the form of a horseshoe, and the ornamentation
admitted no representation of animal life. It has many
points of resemblance to the Arabian and Persian styles,
but should be distinguished from them. See Illust. under
Moresque.
