EMBOSSES Meaning and
Definition
-
Embosses is the plural form of the verb "emboss." Emboss refers to the process of creating raised or sunken designs or patterns on a surface, typically made of paper, leather, metal, or other materials. This decorative technique involves shaping or molding the material by pressing it against a mold or using special tools, resulting in a raised relief design.
When a material is embossed, it obtains a three-dimensional appearance, with certain areas raised above the rest of the surface. This can add texture and visual interest, as well as enhance the overall aesthetics of the object. Embossing is commonly used in various applications, such as printing, bookbinding, stationery, card making, and artistic crafts.
Embosses, as the plural form, refers to multiple instances or examples of items or surfaces that have undergone the embossing process. For instance, a collection of embossed stationery or a line of embossed leather goods can be referred to as embosses.
The term "emboss" can also be used metaphorically to describe something that stands out or is prominently displayed, resembling the appearance of an embossed design on a surface. For example, a company logo embossed on a business card may be said to emboss the brand image of the company.

Etymology of EMBOSSES
The word "embosses" derives from the Middle English term "embosen", which was derived from the Old French word "embocier" meaning "to put into a mouthpiece" or "to aim for". This further comes from the Latin word "in-" meaning "in" or "into", and "bucca" meaning "mouth" or "cheek". The term "emboss" originally referred to the act of putting something into a mold or forming it by using pressure. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the creation of raised designs or patterns on a surface, particularly through the use of tools or carving.
