Definition
To gird around; to encircle or bind with a belt, cord, or barrier; to surround tightly.
Etymology
From the prefix en- plus gird (from Old English gyrdan, meaning to bind with a belt). The causative prefix intensifies the action of binding or encircling.
Kelly Says
Medieval knights 'engirded' themselves with armor and weapons before battle—the word suggests both the physical act and the psychological preparation of girding up for conflict!
