Etymology

The term 'cantilever' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the Middle French word 'cantilever' and the Latin 'cantare', meaning 'to sing'. The original meaning referred to a projecting part of a wall or a beam. Its usage in architecture and engineering became prominent in the 19th century as innovative construction techniques allowed for the design of structures that utilized this principle. Eminent civil engineers and architects began experimenting with cantilever design in bridges and buildings, most notably in structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge, completed in 1883, which featured cantilever elements. Today, cantilevered structures are celebrated for their ability to create dynamic spaces and redefine architectural landscapes.
