Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- Emerging: in heraldry, said of a beast of which only the upper half is seen. Especially— When emerging from the lower edge or bottom of a chief, and therefore borne upon the chief: as, a chief gules, a demi-lion issuant argent. In this sense contrasted with ascendant, which means rising from the bottom of a shield or from the outer edge of a fesse, etc., and with jessant and naissant, which mean rising from the middle of an ordinary, as a fesse, and usually borne partly on the ordinary and partly on the field above it.
