What does ENHALO mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To surround something with a ring of light, as a halo does.
Poets reach for enhalo when light gathers around a head, a lamp or a hill so that the thing seems blessed or set apart. It is built from the prefix en- and halo, in the same way as enthrone or encircle. Outside verse and descriptive prose it almost never appears, and a plainer verb such as surround is usual in speech.
