What does ENLACE mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To wind or twist something around another thing; to entwine or encircle with something lace-like.
Enlace describes a binding created by winding one thing around another, the way ribbon, vine, or cord might wrap around a post or a wrist, and the image usually suggests something delicate rather than forceful. The word comes from the same root as lace, and it shares its meaning with the rarer variant inlace, though enlace has remained the more common of the two. Writers reach for it when a plain word like tie or wrap feels too flat for the picture they want.
