Definition
To cause grief or sorrow to someone; to make grievous or distressing.
Etymology
From en- (to cause to be in a state) + grieve (from Old French grever, meaning 'to burden' or 'to oppress'). The prefix intensifies the emotional impact of grieving.
Kelly Says
This archaic verb appears in Middle English literature to describe not just sadness but the profound weight of sorrow—writers used 'engrieve' to suggest that something had changed a person's emotional state fundamentally.
