Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

**Enswathe** → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "swathe" (from Old English *swæð*, meaning to wrap or bind). The word "enswathe" means to wrap or bind something completely, causing it to be enveloped.

Memory Tip

Think of 'causing to be in' ('en-') something that is 'wrapped' ('swathe') — that's why enswathe means to completely wrap or envelop.
