Spandrel: This is the triangular space between the curve of the arch and the rectangular boundary created by the surrounding structure, often seen in the area between two arches.

Haunch: This is the lower half portion of an arch between the crown (the highest point) and the skewback (the point where the arch meets its support). The haunch provides additional strength and stability to the arch.
