What does ENROBE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To dress someone in a robe or long garment, or to coat something in a smooth outer layer.
Enrobe began as a fairly formal word for putting on a robe, the kind of ceremonial garment worn by judges, priests, or royalty, and it still carries that slightly solemn tone. The food industry later borrowed the same idea, so a factory can enrobe biscuits or fruit in chocolate, wrapping them in a smooth outer coating the same way a robe wraps a body. Both uses share the picture of something being fully covered by a single, even layer.
How ENROBE is used
Used both in formal or ceremonial contexts and, quite differently, in food manufacturing to describe coating.
- Attendants helped enrobe the new judge before the ceremony.
- The factory line would enrobe each bar in a layer of dark chocolate.
- Priests would enrobe themselves before the service began.
- The machine can enrobe hundreds of biscuits in a single hour.
- Actors were enrobed backstage between scenes.
