the strong wooden lattice used to cover a hatch, admitting light and air; also, a movable Lattice used for the flooring of boats

A grating is a framework of parallel or crossed bars, typically used as a partition, guard, cover, or to filter or disperse something such as light or sound. It is often made of metal, wood, or another sturdy material. In optics, a grating also refers to an optical component with a periodic structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

a partition, covering, or frame of parallel or cross bars; a latticework resembling a window grate; as, the grating of a prison or convent

A grating is any regularly spaced collection of essentially identical, parallel, elongated elements. Gratings usually consist of a single set of elongated elements, but can consist of two sets, in which case the second set is usually perpendicular to the first (as illustrated). When the two sets are perpendicular, this is also known as a wikt:grid (as in grid paper) or a mesh.

optical device consisting of a surface with many parallel grooves in it; disperses a beam of light (or other electromagnetic radiation) into its wavelengths to produce its spectrum
