1. (architecture, obsolete, rare) Filled in with open lattice-work (?).
   • 1833, Thomas Leverton Donaldson, A Collection of the Most Approved Examples of Doorways, from Ancient Buildings in Greece and Italy, Expressly Measured and Delineated for This Work, page 43:

     A large wooden frame, composed of a series of mouldings, which are one foot seven inches and seven tenths wide, encloses six (not five as represented by Messrs. Taylor and Cresy), bronze “latrated” panels, thus admitting air into the interior of the building and keeping up a ventilation, even when the doors are closed. […] These impressions lead to the conclusion, that the restorers of the Pantheon, guided by some example now no longer in existence, adopted the doors and latrated panels over them from some ancient monument, and filled up the vacant space by an arrangement, such as we now see it.

   • 1859, Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Architectura Numismatica: Or, Architectural Medals of Classic Antiquity, page 54:

     The intercolumnar lateral space next the antæ or pilasters, is latrated or filled in with open lattice-work, of which examples are to be found in several bassi-relievi.
