Clothing
A sash consists of a cloth belt used to hold a robe together, and usually tied about the waist. The Japanese equivalent of a sash, called an obi, serves to hold a kimono or yukata together. Sashes traditionally form part of formal military attire (compare the sword-belt known as a baldric). Some decorations such as the Legion d'honneur involve wearing a special sash. In South and Latin America a special Presidential sash indicates a president's authority. Decorative sashes may pass from the shoulder to the hip rather than around the waist.
Computing
Many Unix-like operating systems feature a statically linked shell called sash which includes many built-in system commands. After a system failure, a systems administrator can use sash during recovery without the need to have important libraries in place.
The acronym SASH may refer to a combination (stack) of open-source Java components identified by their initials: Struts, Apache Axis, Spring Framework, and Hibernate.
Building
Architects and builders use the word sash for the framing which holds panes of glass set in a glazed window or door, including the narrow bars between the panes. A sash window comprises sashes constructed into a unitary window.
