Definition
An archaic term meaning to force or thrust something, or to break through a barrier by force.
Etymology
From Old French 'enfoncer,' combining 'en-' with 'foncer' (to thrust or plunge), which comes from Latin 'fundus.' The meaning was originally literal—physically forcing or thrusting—before becoming archaic.
Kelly Says
In medieval warfare, 'enfoncer' described what cavalry did when they charged at enemy lines—they had to 'enfonce' the defenses. The word disappeared from English largely because we invented simpler words like 'break' and 'force' instead.
