imprint
Fossil's lasting evidence
An imprint is a mark made by pressing something onto a surface: the imprint of a boot in the mud, a fossil imprint.
Figuratively, it's a lasting effect or influence: The war left its imprint on a generation.
In publishing, an imprint is a brand name under which books are published, often one of several within a larger house.
To imprint is to stamp or fix something firmly: The image was imprinted in her memory.
In animal behavior, imprinting is the rapid bonding that occurs in young animals to a parent or parent figure.
