To rock or hold in or as in a cradle; to nurture gently and protectively.
From 'en-' (causative prefix) + 'cradle'. The prefix intensifies the image of cradling, suggesting tender, protective movement.
Poets love 'encradle' because it combines two powerful images—a cradle rocks with comfort and safety, and the prefix 'en-' makes it feel like the whole world is holding something precious!
