Today’s Words That Work: Pergola
A Pergola (PUR-guh-luh) — from the Italian for “arbor” — is an open lattice structure, usually covered with roses or other climbing plants, that forms a decorative, shaded passageway.
Example (as used by Michael Masterson today): “[This] savvy marketer spent the money to build an 8-foot stucco wall around the property… And he created a very elaborate entrance with pillars, pergolas, and arches.”
