imbedding

Setting firmly inside

Imbedding is a less common spelling of embedding—the act of fixing something firmly within a surrounding mass or context.

The spelling with *i* appears occasionally in technical writing, particularly in mathematics, where an imbedding describes how one structure maps into another: The imbedding of the manifold preserves its topological properties.
