A type of soft leather or a dressed skin used in historical clothing and armor.
From em- (meaning 'to put into' or 'to cover with') combined with busk, possibly related to buskin (a type of boot or protective covering). This appears to be a rare or specialized variant from medieval textile terminology.
Medieval armor makers used specific names for dozens of leather treatments and coverings, and embuskin represents a forgotten vocabulary for materials that were absolutely essential to survival in battle.
