Function: transitive verb Inflected Form(s): en*graved; en*grav*ing Etymology: Middle French engraver, from en- + graver to grave, of Germanic origin; akin to Old English grafan to grave 1 a : to form by incision (as on wood or metal) b : to impress deeply as if with a graver <the incident was engraved in his memory> Seems like US Americans didn't invent the word. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137088 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
