Embossment

/ɪmˈbɒsmənt/ noun

Etymology

From emboss plus -ment suffix meaning 'the result or process of.' This noun describes both the action and the resulting decorative feature.

Kelly Says

The -ment suffix (like in 'pavement' or 'government') makes this sound formal and official—embossment is what you call fancy embossing when you're describing it in technical specifications.
