Enhalo

/ɪnˈheɪloʊ/ verb

Definition

To encircle with a halo; to surround with a ring of light or glory.

Etymology

From en- (prefix) + halo (from Greek halos, meaning 'threshing floor' or 'disk'). The word was created to describe the action of putting a halo around something.

Kelly Says

This verb takes the visual idea of a halo—that glowing ring you see in religious paintings—and makes it a verb, so you can 'enhalo' someone by surrounding them with that sacred glow.
