| Nov 27, 2017 at 17:29 | comment | added | Gro-Tsen | I learned differential geometry in French (in France in case this is a country-dependent issue), and I always heard "plongement" being used for "embedding" and "immersion" restricted to the same meaning as in English. | |

I think the use of immersion in algebraic geometry is due to Grothendieck, who was probably not aware of the standard usage (or did not care). | |
