What does ENWOMB mean in Scrabble?
verb
poeticarchaic
To enclose or hide something deep inside, as if in a womb.
Poets from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries liked this word for images of burying or sheltering something in a dark, protective hollow. A cave might enwomb treasure, or the earth might enwomb a seed. It is built from the prefix en- meaning to put into, added to womb. A related older sense was simply to conceive, though that use is now almost unknown.
