vt. past tense of "enclose" – to surround or seal off
The word "enclose" originates from Middle English, combining the prefix "en-" (from Old French, meaning "in" or "into") and "close" (from Latin "clausus," meaning "shut"). The suffix "-d" marks the past tense or past participle form. The term evolved to describe the act of surrounding or sealing something within boundaries, reflecting its literal and figurative uses in modern English.
