Answer 4

I knew the Romans used glass in windows but could not prove this enough to put on an answer until I found the following bit on the Metropolitan Museum website:

Glass windowpanes were first made in the early imperial period, and used most prominently in the public baths to prevent drafts. Because window glass in Rome was intended to provide insulation and security, rather than illumination or as a way of viewing the world outside, little, if any, attention was paid to making it perfectly transparent or of even thickness. Window glass could be either cast or blown. Cast panes were poured and rolled over flat, usually wooden molds laden with a layer of sand, and then ground or polished on one side. Blown panes were created by cutting and flattening a long cylinder of blown glass.

Answer 5

The word Window originates from the Old Norse vindauga, from vindr "wind" and auga "eye." It is first recorded in the early 13th century, and originally referred to an unglazed hole in a roof.

Window replaced the Old English eagþyrl, which literally means "eye-hole," and eagduru, "eye-door." Most Germanic languages however adopted the Latin word fenestra to describe a window with glass. In English the word fenester was used as a parallel until the mid-1500s.
