A rare, archaic word meaning to pierce or stab with a fork-like implement, or to divide something into fork-like branches.
From 'en-' plus 'fork,' which comes from Latin 'furca.' The word is so rare that its complete history is difficult to trace, but it appears in some Middle English texts.
This is a word that emerged from practical medieval life—you'd 'enfork' hay with a pitchfork, literally piercing it. Most verbs formed this way ('en-' plus an object) eventually disappeared as English simplified its vocabulary.
