Root Explanation

Enshroud → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "shroud" (from Old English *scrūd*, meaning a garment or covering). The word "enshroud" means to cover or envelop something completely, as if putting it in a garment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'en-' meaning to cause to be in something, and 'shroud' as a covering. This helps you remember that to enshroud means to completely cover or envelop something.
