What does ENSKY mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicpoetic
To place in the sky, or to raise something to the sky as an honour or exaltation.
Ensky is a rare poetic verb formed from the prefix en- and sky, meaning to lift something up as though setting it among the stars. Poets historically used ensky to praise a person or quality by imagining it raised to the heavens, giving the word a lofty, ceremonial tone. Because the coinage is so old-fashioned, it survives today mainly in dictionaries of poetic vocabulary and in word game lists rather than in ordinary writing. The word never lost its clear meaning even though it fell out of active use.
How ENSKY is used

- The poet chose to ensky his beloved's name above all others.
