The definition reads: a substitute, esp. a person deputizing for another in a specific role or office: she was regarded as thesurrogate for the governor during his final illness. • (in the Christian Church) a bishop's deputy who grants marriage licenses. • a judge in charge of probate, inheritance, and guardianship. ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin surrogatus, past participle of surrogare ‘elect as a substitute,’ from super- ‘over’ + rogare ‘ask.’ Surrogate suggests both overriding and substitution. Here, we substitute one stencil's skyline for another stencil's. However, I am definitely not wed to the name surrogate. If people like override better I can do that.
