Is this a typo?

See: 'Acquisition du geste de vissage d'une vis pour l'amorcer, l'épingler ou embecter (termes techniques synonymes désignant le fait d'engager les premiers filets d'une vis dans un filetage femelle)'

agree Didier Fourcot : Rather regional and outdated but the evidence shows that it is still used, amorcer and engager are the proper terms
