trelliswork

/ˈtɹɛɫəswɜɹk/ noun

A trellis or trellis-like structure.

Word Origin Trelliswork is latticework, a structure of crossed strips. 'Trellis' comes from Greek 'trilikhos', literally 'of three threads' — originally a fabric with a three-thread weave, then any crisscross pattern. 'Work' is from Proto-Germanic 'werką', meaning labor or construction. So trelliswork is the crafted lattice. The same 'work' root gives us 'framework', 'network', 'woodwork', and 'homework'.
