Romanesʹque (3 syl.)

.

In painting. Fanciful and romantic rather than true to nature.

In architecture. Byzantine, Lombard, Saxon, and, indeed, all the debased Roman styles, between the time of Constantine (350) and Charlemagne (800).

In literature. The dialect of Languedoc, which smacks of the Romance.
