Definition
The act or process of baptizing; baptism or the ceremony of administering baptism.
Etymology
From baptize + -ment suffix denoting action or process. An older English form (now largely archaic) for expressing the baptism ritual.
Kelly Says
This archaic form reminds us that English had multiple ways to express the same concept—-ment endings competed with -tion and -ism before standardization, showing language's creative redundancy.
