Embraceorr

/ɪmˈbreɪsər/ noun

Definition

A variant or alternative spelling of embraceor, used in some historical legal documents.

Etymology

A doubled-r variant of embraceor, likely reflecting scribal variation or regional spelling practices in Middle English legal writing when standardization was inconsistent.

Kelly Says

This spelling variant is a time capsule—it shows that English spelling used to be much more flexible, and different scribes would write the same word different ways. Standardization only really happened after printing was invented!
