Empacket

/ɪmˈpækɪt/ verb

Definition

To pack or bundle something together; to wrap or enclose in a packet.

Etymology

From em- (prefix meaning 'put in or on') + packet (from Old French paquet). Follows the productive English pattern of using em- to convert nouns into verbs.

Kelly Says

The em- prefix turns nouns into verbs that mean 'to put into' or 'wrap in'—like embalm (wrap in balsam), embark (put on a bark/ship), or empacket (wrap in packets)—it's a linguistic bundling operation.
