	However, a more linguistically correct explanation would be that it originated from the French word [[:wikt:fr:estampage\|estampage]] (by itself of Proto-Germanic etymology) that literally means 'stamping' and in practice, can mean either of the two processes, namely industrial stamping of steel ([[forging]]) or the artistic stamping of various materials. The latter meaning seems to be have been adopted into epigraphy.
