Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
LATTICEnoun
A reticulated window; a window made with sticks or irons crossing each other at small distances.
Etymology: lattis, French; by Franciscus Junius written lettice, and derived from lett iren, a hindring iron, stop; by Stephen Skinner imagined to be derived from latte, Dutch, a lath, or to be corrupted from nettice or network: I have sometimes derived it from let and eye; leteyes, that which lets the eye. It may be deduced from laterculus.
My good window of lattice fare thee well; thy casement I need not open, I look through thee. William Shakespeare.
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattess. Judg. v. 28.
Up into the watch-tower get,
And see all things despoil’d of fallacies:
Thou shalt not peep through lattices of eyes,
Nor hear through labyrinths of ears, nor learn
By circuit or collections to discern. John Donne.The trembling leaves through which he play’d,
Dappling the walk with light and shade,
Like lattice windows, give the spy
Room but to peep with half an eye. John Cleveland.To Latticeverb
To decussate; to mark with cross parts like a lattice.
Etymology: from the noun.

lattice
A lattice is a structure in mathematics and abstract algebra which consists of a set of elements arranged in a specific organizational pattern. Specifically, it organizes the elements based on a partial order such that every two elements have a unique supremum (or least upper bound also known as join) and an infimum (or greatest lower bound known as meet). It represents ordered pairs of elements symbolically to depict hierarchical relationships. This concept is used in various areas such as set theory, logic, statistics, computer science, and other fields of mathematics.

Lattice
In mathematics, a lattice is a partially ordered set in which any two elements have a supremum and an infimum. Lattices can also be characterized as algebraic structures satisfying certain axiomatic identities. Since the two definitions are equivalent, lattice theory draws on both order theory and universal algebra. Semilattices include lattices, which in turn include Heyting and Boolean algebras. These "lattice-like" structures all admit order-theoretic as well as algebraic descriptions.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Lattice
lat′is, n. a network of crossed laths or bars, called also Latt′ice-work: anything of lattice-work, as a window: (her.) a bearing of vertical and horizontal bars crossing each other.—v.t. to form into open work: to furnish with a lattice.—ns. Latt′ice-bridge, a bridge with its sides consisting of cross-framing like lattice-work; Latt′ice-gird′er, a girder of which the web consists of diagonal pieces arranged like lattice-work; Latt′ice-leaf, an aquatic plant, native to Madagascar, so called from the singular resemblance of the leaves to open lattice-work—otherwise Lattice-plant, Lace-leaf, Water-yam, or Ouvirandrano.—Red lattice (Shak.), a frame of lattice-work painted red, formerly used to fill the windows of an ale-house. [Fr. lattis—latte, a lath.]
