The act of englobing; the condition of being englobed; enclosure or surrounding.
From englobe + -ment (Old French -ment, from Latin -mentum, expressing the result or product of an action). The -ment suffix creates abstract nouns from verbs.
The -ment suffix is one of French's greatest gifts to English—it gave us 'movement,' 'statement,' 'amazement,' 'englobement,' and thousands more. French traders and Normans added this productive suffix when they brought their language to medieval England.
