Root Explanation

Insphere is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "sphere" (from Greek "sphaira", meaning ball or globe). The word describes the act of enclosing something within a sphere or making it spherical in nature.

Memory Tip

Think of putting something 'into' ('in-') a 'ball' ('sphere') — that's why insphere means to enclose within a sphere.
