NEWEL (O. Fr. nouel or noel, modern noyau, properly a kernel, from Lat. nux, nut; other foreign equivalents are Ital. albero, Ger. Spindel) , the term given in architecture to the central
shaft
  of a semicircular or winding staircase, which is built up or consists of the narrow ends of the steps
standing

block
 ; when in
