Definition
The act of providing support or the state of being supported, or the thing that provides support; fulfillment through support.
Etymology
Archaic term combining 'fulcrum' (support) with '-ment' (action or result suffix), from Latin roots meaning 'to prop up' or 'to provide support.'
Kelly Says
This beautifully archaic word shows how Renaissance thinkers loved creating technical vocabulary from Latin—'fulciment' sounds impressive but is basically just 'the act of supporting,' reminding us that fancy words aren't always better than simple ones.
