/ˈɛfɪdʒi/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  EFFIGY, crim. law. The figure or representation of a person.
       2. To make the effigy of a person with an intent to make him the object 
  of ridicule, is a libel. (q.v.) Hawk. b. 1, c. 7 3, s. 2 14 East, 227; 2 
  Chit. Cr. Law, 866. 
       3. In France an execution by effigy or in effigy is adopted in the case 
  of a criminal who has fled from justice. By the public exposure or 
  exhibition of a picture or representation of him on a scaffold, on which his 
  name and the decree condemning him are written, he is deemed to undergo the 
  punishment to which he has been sentenced. Since the adoption of the Code 
  Civil, the practice has been to affix the names, qualities or addition, and 
  the residence of the condemned person, together with an extract from the 
  sentence of condemnation, to a post set upright in the ground, instead of 
  exhibiting a portrait of him on the scaffold. Repertoire de Villargues; 
  Biret, Vo cab.
