1. A Twilight series word.
2. A "bizarre werewolf thing".
3. To imprint.
4. The act of a Quileute werewolf falling "in love" with someone--basically "love at first sight" but much more powerful and much more absolute; the love is not always a "romantic" love, but rather, simply UNCONDITIONAL love in general--brother-sisterly, romantically, whatever.

Imprinting was supposed to be a rare exception, but several of Jacob's pack mates were already imprinted in Eclipse. Jake would eventually imprint, too--on Renesmee, Bella's vampire hybrid daughter.

Psychologically speaking, imprinting is when a younger person (typically a child) follows in the footsteps of the first person they interact with early in their life. It could be their mother, big brother or big sister. When the child views that person as their role model, they have essentially imprinted onto them. The said child fantasizes about being like their role model, being intimate with their role model (e.g. hugging), and willing to do anything they ask. This happens not only in humans but also in animals (e.g. baby chicks following and copying their mother duck after hatching).
Going off of that, you could say that in general, imprinting is the act of looking up to a person and viewing them as their idol, often to an excessive and subservient degree.

Imprinting often happens when you crush on someone for the first time. You just wanna be like them, be with them, and have everything to do with them. When they're put in the same group as you, you suddenly feel a strong sense of devotion. That is the essence of imprinting.

From the Twilight series "Bella, sometimes you see someone, you know that they're the one, and you imprint on them."

This is a Twilight (Book by Stephenie Meyer- If you havn't read it, READ IT!) word.
When a werewolf from the Quiluete tribe falls in love with somebody after they have phased before just by seeing them. So basically love at first sight but more real.

Sam: Oh, Emily! (Big kiss on the cheek). I Love You!
Emily: I Love You too! I'm so glad you imprinted on me!

In Twilight, a werewolf imprints on the person he or she loves. It means they'll be by their side forever and love them forever. They imprint by scratching you i think
