A rare verb meaning to decorate or adorn with a garland; to crown or festoon with flowers or ornamental wreaths.
From prefix 'en-' plus 'garland' (from Old French 'garlande', possibly of Germanic origin). 'Garland' originally meant a wreath of flowers or leaves worn on the head or used as decoration.
Medieval poets loved 'engarland' because wreathing someone in flowers was a poetic image of honor—you'd 'engarland' victorious athletes or brides, making them literally beautiful with nature!
