lozengen.

Brit.

/ˈlɒz(ᵻ)n(d)ʒ/, U.S.

/ˈlɑzəndʒ/

Forms: Middle English–1600s loseng(e, Middle English–1500s losang(e, losing(e, Middle English losyngye, ( losynge, lesyng, lozingge), Middle English–1600s lozeng, 1500s–1600s lossenge, loosing, 1500s–1700s lozange, (1700s lozinge), 1600s– lozenge.

Etymology: < Old French losenge, losange (modern French losange) = Spanish losanje, Catalan llosange, Italian lozanga; perhaps a derivative of the word which appears as Provençal lausa, Spanish losa, Catalan llosa, Portuguese lousa, slab, tombstone, ? Old French lauze roofing slate. It has been suggested that Provençal lausa < late Latin *lapidea ( < lapid-, lapis stone) has been adopted into the other Romance languages; the presumed derivative losenge first occurs in French (13th cent.).

a. A plane rectilineal figure, having four equal sides and two acute and two obtuse angles; a rhomb, ‘diamond’. In Heraldry, such a figure used as a bearing, less elongated than the fusil n.¹, and placed with its longer axis vertical. †in lozenge = lozengy adj. grand lozenge, †lozenge in point: a lozenge the angles of which touch the sides of the shield. lozenges in cross: four or more lozenges disposed so as to form a cross.Guillim's definition (quot. 1632) would require that the acute angles should be of 60°; but the rule is not strictly followed by heraldic draughtsmen.
