EMBASSY

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 307 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ECG-EMS
EMBASSY , the
office
  of an
ambassador
 , or, more generally, the
mission
  on which an
ambassador
  of one
power
  is sent to another, or the
body
  of
official
  personages attached to such a
mission
 , whether temporary or permanent. Hence " embassy " is often quite loosely used of any mission, diplomatic or other-
wise
 . The word is also used of the
official
  residence of an ambassador. "Embassy " was originally " ambassy," the form
used in the 17th
century
 , but by the time of Johnson considered quite obsolete. " Ambassy " is from the 0. Fr. ambassee, derived through such forms as the Port. ambassada, Ital. ambasciata from a lost Med. Lat. ambactiata, ambactiare, to go on a mission. (See further AMBASSADOR,
EXTERRITORIALITY
  and DIPLOMACY.)
