Skeuomorph skyoo'e-morf, n (Greek skeuos vessel, tool, and morphe, shape) - A retained but no longer functional stylistic feature. This term was originally used in architecture and archaeology to refer to a feature whose origin was functional, but whose only vestige was as a decorative ornament. It is of great use today as imitation seams, supports and other things are applied to bits of plastic that came directly out of a mould.
