Embossage

/ɪmˈbɒsɪdʒ/ noun

Definition

The act or result of embossing; a raised design or pattern created on a surface.

Etymology

From emboss plus -age suffix (meaning 'the result of an action'). This collective noun describes both the process and product of embossing.

Kelly Says

The -age suffix (like in 'drainage' or 'passage') transforms a verb into a concept—embossage isn't just what you do, it's the whole world of raised designs and fancy metalwork.
