\Moor"ish\, a. [See 1st {Moor}, and cf. {Morris},
{Moresque}.]
Of or pertaining to Morocco or the Moors; in the style of the
Moors.
{Moorish architecture}, the style developed by the Moors in
   the later Middle Ages, esp. in Spain, in which the arch
   had the form of a horseshoe, and the ornamentation
   admitted no representation of animal life. It has many
   points of resemblance to the Arabian and Persian styles,
   but should be distinguished from them. See Illust. under
   {Moresque}.
