A springer is an architectural term for the lowest voussoir 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 responds.[1] It rests on the impost or pier of the arch, that is, the topmost part of the abutment, from which the arch arises.[2]
