Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIDGE (a word. common to many Teutonic languages, meaning " back," whether of a man or an animal, cf. German Rucke) , the word applied to many objects resembling the projecting line of an animal's back, such as the strip of soil thrown up by a plough between furrows, the elevations or protuberances on bones which serve for the
attachment
  of muscles or ligaments, &c. In
architecture
  the
ridge
  (Fr. faite, crfte; Gr. First; Ital. asinello) is the highest portion of a roof, which is covered with lead, slate, or tiles, and some-times decorated with a cresting in terra-cotta or metal-
work
 . The
term
  is also applied to the
meeting
  of the common rafters on each side of a roof, which are sometimes butted against an
upright board known as the
ridge
 -piece. For the ridge-rib see RIB.
