The GPO Style Guide says "An en space is used for all bearoffs or insets." Seems like a printer's term for an aspect of tables. It's under the Tabular Work section, and the subsection after this is called boxheads. https://www.govinfo.gov/collection/gpo-style-manual?path=/GPO/U.S.%20Government%20Publishing%20Office%20Style%20Manual

Search results are all about backgammon though. I don't know what that means.
