monotriglyph

Example:The Corinthian columns, though spectacular, are not monotriglyphs as they have no triglyphs or metopes.

Definition:Distinctive from all three classical orders, exclusionary of monotriglyphs because the Corinthian order is more ornate and less focused on the geometric elements like triglyphs and metopes.
