A window is made up of a few parts. First, you have the panes of glass which are held in place by a frame. A sash window or hung sash window is made of one or more movable panels or "sashes" that form a frame to hold panes of glass.

How far we have come from a rope and free hanging weight! The shortcut was a piece of wood or short pole to hold the window in place. Replacement could be a pain in the a..!
