1 gen 1687 anni - seam

Descrizione:

This is a word already in use in the Old English period when it referred to the seam formed when the edges of two pieces of cloth were joined by sewing. A much later example indicates how it came to be used of rock strata: 1687 ‘that which at first seemed to be seams or joynings of the Stones are only veins in the rock’ (OED). Coal-mining examples date from that period.
