to endow with grace, elegance, or divine favor; to make graceful or beautiful.
From en- (to cause to be) plus grace (from Latin gratia, meaning favor or elegance). This poetic verb follows the same pattern as enliven or enrich, using the prefix to create a verb from a noun.
This archaic poetic verb perfectly illustrates how medieval and Renaissance writers could create new words on the fly—if you wanted to say something was made beautiful by grace, you could simply 'engrace' it, and if readers recognized the pattern, they understood immediately.
