If they were actual windows the word used was fenestresor fenestreles, no matter what shape they were.

You may be thinking of defensive arrow-slits, which are not technically windows.

Why were castle windows thinner?

The things you call "windows" are actually arrow slits. They are just wide enough to fire a arrow through, but if you went inside the area where the windows are located in the wall you would find a recess for a man to use to aim, spot, and fire an arrow. The slits look fairly narrow from the outside, but they have a full view of the land below from all angles. This is very good for the defense of the castle.
