Fabricature

/ˌfæbrɪˈkeɪtʃər/ noun

Definition

The act or process of making or constructing something; workmanship or craftsmanship (archaic).

Etymology

From Latin fabricatūra (making, construction). Popular in Middle English but largely replaced by 'fabrication' in modern usage.

Kelly Says

This beautiful archaic word was the standard term before 'fabrication' took over—it's like watching one word gradually push another out of the language over centuries.
