To fill with horror or dread; to cause to feel intense fear and revulsion.
From 'en-' plus 'horror,' from Latin 'horror' (a shuddering). The verb means to instill that shuddering, hair-raising sensation in someone.
Gothic novelists loved 'enhorror'—it's the perfect word for describing how a dark secret or creepy atmosphere gradually fills someone with mounting dread, making every moment more terrifying than the last.
