To make crisp or brittle; to curl or crimp something into a crispy texture.
From en- (causative prefix) + crisp. This old verb combines the prefix 'en-' (meaning to cause or put into a state) with 'crisp' to mean causing something to become crisp.
This word is pleasantly onomatopoetic—'encrisp' actually sounds like the crinkly noise your food makes when it gets crispy, a linguistic reminder of how words once tried to echo their meanings!
