1. coign

   A coign, also spelled as "quoin," refers to the cornerstone or an external angle in a building. In a broader sense, it also alludes to an advantageous position, a perspective, or a favorable opportunity for action. Its origin traces back to architectural terminology, where it stands for a key positioning stone or brick in the corner of a wall or structure.
