What does ENROOT mean in Scrabble?
verb
literaryrare
To fix something firmly by its root, or to establish it deeply and permanently.
Enroot describes a plant taking hold in the soil so firmly that its roots anchor it in place, and older writers stretched the same image to anything fixed deeply and lastingly, such as a habit or belief that has enroot in a person's mind. The word is built from the prefix en-, meaning to put into a state, joined to root, the same pattern seen in enable or enclose. Enroot never became a common everyday verb and now turns up mostly in older or deliberately formal writing rather than in ordinary speech.
