单词 insculp
释义

insculpv.

/ɪnˈskʌlp/
Forms: Past participle insculpt, insculped.
Etymology: < Latin insculpĕre to carve or engrave on, < in- (in- prefix3) + sculpĕre to carve, or its French representation insculper (15–16th cent. in Godefroy). Used at first in past participle insculpt, < Latin insculptus; the finite verb may have arisen in part from an analysis of this as insculp-t = insculp-ed.
Now rare or Obsolete.
1. transitive. To carve, engrave, or sculpture (upon something, as a figure or inscription upon stone).
ΘΚΠ
