Aw, come on, Coach! Looking up the words takes the fun out of it. Let's have some time to make educated guesses from experience!

When I first heard this word and asked a Brother what it meant, I was told it referred to printing with pressure, I guess similar to the intaglio process the U.S. Bureau of Engraving uses to print currency. I was surprised to not see it as a definition in my research.

Forgive me. The first post was from rote. The second was merely a confirmation. I shall circumscribe this secondary inditing action into the future until others reply.
