Form and meaning closely match modern 'embassy'/'ambassador' but the archaic spelling and suffix make it less immediately obvious to learners.

Etymology

Embassage is an older form related to ambassador and embassy, coming from the idea of 'sending' a person or news; so an embassage originally meant the official 'mission' or 'message' sent by a ruler's representative.
