Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin emplecton.

Etymology: < classical Latin emplecton, type of masonry (Pliny) < Hellenistic Greek ἔμπλεκτον , type of masonry (attested as a Greek word in the classical Latin author Vitruvius), use as noun of ἔμπλεκτος inwoven < ἐμ- , variant (before a labial) of ἐν- en- prefix² + πλεκτός plaited, twisted (see plectognath n.), after ἐμπλέκειν to plait or weave, entwine.

Chiefly with reference to Greek and Roman architecture: a method of building or type of masonry consisting of a double external wall of close-fitting stonework or brickwork, with a core of rubble and mortar or rubble and clay, sometimes also incorporating cross walls or blocks used for reinforcement and to bind the faces together. Also: the infill of such a wall. Frequently attributive, as emplecton technique, emplecton work, etc.
