To glue or cement together; to join or unite with adhesive.
From en- + glue (Middle Dutch gluwe, from Old French glu, from Latin glus, 'birdlime'). The word glue itself entered English via Norman French, and 'englue' represents adding the native en- prefix to the borrowed word.
The word 'glue' shows how Norman French influence touched even humble everyday vocabulary—our sticky substance comes via Old French from Latin, and then English speakers helpfully added 'en-' to make it a verb, just as they did with 'enlarge' and 'enrich.'
