springer
The "arranque" or springer is the lowest wedge on each side of an arch. So, it is the base or the beginning/ending point of the arch. The wedges above it "spring" from it. It is also called the "spring" of an arch or vault.
Example sentence:
A springer is an architectural term for the lowest voussoir [wedge] on each side of an arch. Since it is the bottom-most element of the arch, it is where the arch support terminates at the respond.
