Pronuncation: /ɪmˈbɔs/
English Description: having a surface that is decorated with a raised pattern
Chinese Translation: v. 饰以浮饰(Shi4 Yi3 Fu2 Shi4); 使浮雕出来(Shi3 Fu2 Diao1 Chu1 Lai2)
Spanish Translation: repujar
STORY: Embossing and engraving have similar effects––a raised surface. But embossing pushes the paper or metal up, working from behind, while engraving actually cuts into the surface, cutting away a bit of the media as it makes its mark.
