As an author, I'm opposed to using the word 'stack' (but other authors are available). Stack to me implies a _single_ column of boxes 'stacked' on each other. See, for example, [how it's described in the Every Layout book.](https://every-layout.dev/layouts/stack/). If the inner boxes were [laid out in rows rather than columns](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid-3/#row-masonry-container), describing it as stacked seems strange and unintuitive to me. If we used brickwork terms, the row or column that the bricks are laid out is called a 'course'. That said, I don't think `grid-course` would be very intuitive either. For that reason, @fantasai's suggestion of `grid-collapsed` is the one that makes the most sense to me. @tabatkins, if we want the name here to link up with the name of the cross axis in the spec, I'd even be up for referring it it as the 'collapsed axis'. -- GitHub Notification of comment by JoshTumath Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022#issuecomment-3202622226 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
