Etymology
The word latticework comes from the part lattice, which once meant a 'net' or 'mesh', and the part work, meaning something made by people. Think of it as a wooden or metal 'net' of crossed strips, and that's why latticework means a frame of criss-cross strips used for decoration or support.
