Etymology
The word 'embouchure' originated from the French word 'emboucher', which means 'to put into the mouth'. It was first used in English in the mid-18th century to refer to the mouthpiece of a musical instrument. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the technique of applying the mouth to a wind or brass instrument. Today, 'embouchure' is a common term in the world of music, particularly among wind and brass players.
