Architrave
The word architrave is derived from the lowest part of the entablature in Greek Architecture. Today it refers to a decorative trim used to hide a joint.
Architraves are placed after the window and all of the framing have been installed. It is possible to add architraves when none were installed originally, for people who want to create more visual interest in a room, without too much fuss.
