To dress or cover someone or something with clothing or a covering material.
From Old English 'en-' (causative prefix) + 'clothe' (to cover with cloth). The prefix 'en-' intensifies the action of clothing, appearing around the 15th century in English.
This word shows how English loves adding prefixes to change meaning—'clothe' means to dress, but 'enclothe' emphasizes wrapping or enveloping completely, like when winter weather encloathes the landscape in snow.
