Embosture

/ɪmˈbɒstʃə/ noun

Definition

A structure or feature created by embossing; a raised or protruding part of an embossed design.

Etymology

From emboss plus -ure suffix meaning 'the result of.' This archaic noun describes the actual physical feature created by embossing work.

Kelly Says

This rare word disappeared from English because we just say 'embossed design' now, but it once specifically meant the actual raised bumps and features themselves—old terms for old craft distinctions.
