A mark or impression made by stamping, especially an official seal or print on a document.
From Old French 'estampe,' derived from Frankish 'stampôn' meaning 'to stamp.' The word entered English in the 15th century referring to printed impressions and marks made with force.
The word 'estamp' is actually related to how medieval craftspeople authenticated their work—before modern signatures, artisans would literally stamp their mark onto their creations, and this practice lives on in the word itself!
