Senses
creuer is used for these senses in English:
- crossing (architecture) The volume formed by the intersection of chancel, nave and transepts in a cruciform church; often with a tower or cupola over it.
- crossroads (figuratively, by analogy) A decision point; a turning point or opportunity to change a direction, a course, or a goal.
- cruise A sea or lake voyage, especially one taken for pleasure.
- cruise ship (nautical) A passenger ship used for pleasure voyages, where the voyage itself and the ship's amenities are considered an essential part of the experience.
- transept (architecture) The transversal part of a church, which crosses at right angles to the greatest length, and between the nave and choir. In the basilicas, this had often no projection at its two ends. In Gothic churches these project greatly, and should be called the arms of the transept. It is common, however, to speak of the arms themselves as the transepts.
