Enflesh

/ɛnˈflɛʃ/ verb

Definition

To clothe in flesh, to give physical form to, or to make bodily incarnate.

Etymology

From 'en-' (to cause to be) plus 'flesh.' Literally means to wrap in or provide flesh, often used philosophically to describe making something abstract become physical.

Kelly Says

Artists and writers use 'enflesh' when describing how to turn ideas or characters into something tangible—it's the opposite of abstraction, making the invisible visible.
