What does ENWIND mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaicliterary
To wind or coil around something.
Enwind belongs to the family of old en- verbs such as enwrap and enfold, which poets liked for describing vines, ribbons or serpents curling around an object. Modern writers almost always choose wind around instead. The word has survived mainly because it is accepted in tournament word lists, where it is a useful play with an unusual letter pattern.
