Rare, specialized architectural term for the edge or boundary of a structural member. Not used in everyday language.
この建築部材の見切りは丁寧に仕上げられている。
The edge of this architectural member is finished carefully.
Compound of 見 (mi, 'seeing') + 切り (kiri, 'cutting'), from the verb 見切る (mikiru, 'to see and cut off; to give up on'). The architectural sense likely derives from the idea of a 'cut-off' line or edge.
