noun
technical
The exposed underside of a building element such as an arch, a stair, a beam or overhanging eaves.
Builders speak of the soffit under a roof overhang, the flat board that closes the gap between the wall and the edge of the roof and often carries small vents for air. In classical architecture the term applies to the underside of an arch, lintel or cornice, which can be plain or richly carved. The word came into English through French and Italian from a Latin root meaning something fixed beneath. A soffit may be of wood, plaster, metal or vinyl.
