What is munting?

"Munting" can refer to a few different things depending on the context, but primarily, it usually refers to activity manipulations in construction or architectural contexts where windows, doors, or other architectural elements are fitted and adjusted. It involves the use of muntins, which are strips of wood or metal that divide and hold panes of glass in a window.
