Brit.

/ˌambᵿˈskeɪd/, U.S.

/ˌæmbəˈskeɪd/

Forms: 1500s ambascade, 1500s imbascade, 1500s imboscade, 1500s imbuscade, 1500s– ambuscade, 1600s embuscade; also Scottish pre-1700 ambuscaid, pre-1700 embuscade.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French emboscade.

Etymology: < Middle French emboscade, imboscade, Middle French, French embuscade (a1453) < Italian imboscata (first half of the 14th cent., although earlier currency is suggested by post-classical Latin imboscata (12th cent.)), use as noun of past participle of imboscare ambush v.; compare Middle French, French -ade -ade suffix. Compare earlier ambush n. (which is now the usual word), ambushment n., slightly later ambuscado n., and also earlier bush n.¹ 4a.Compare Catalan emboscada (1405), Spanish emboscada (c1385), and Portuguese emboscada (1551; also †embuscada ), which show uses as noun of the past participles of the various Romance parallels of ambush v. On the origin of the forms with initial a see discussion at ambush n. The forms with -a- in the second syllable perhaps result from association with ambassade n.

Now somewhat archaic.

a. Chiefly Military. The condition or position of lying in wait in a concealed place in order to surprise and attack an enemy, victim, etc.; a positioning of soldiers, etc., in a concealed place for this purpose. Also: the surprise attack itself. Cf. ambush n. 1. N.E.D. (1884) notes: ‘now more formal [than ambush] as a military term’.
