What ledge means

A narrow horizontal surface that projects out from a wall, cliff, or other surface and can support weight or objects resting on it.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *legge*, likely related to Old Norse *leggja*, meaning "to lay" or "to place."

The word may also connect to Old English *lecgan*, "to lay down," sharing Germanic roots with modern English "lay."
