A rare or poetic verb meaning to gaze at intensely, or possibly to clothe in gauze.
From prefix 'en-' plus 'gaze' (of uncertain origin, possibly Scandinavian) or possibly from 'gaze' plus 'gauze' (from Gaza, the cloth's origin). The etymology is uncertain because this word is so rarely used.
This word might be a blend of 'gaze' and 'gauze'—two words that sound similar but mean completely different things—which shows how rare and confused even word origins can become!
