Ensandal

/ɪnˈsændəl/ verb

Definition

A nearly non-existent archaic word meaning to shoe with sandals or to put sandals on.

Etymology

From 'en-' (to cause to be) + 'sandal' (a light shoe, from Greek 'sandalon'). Virtually unknown in modern English.

Kelly Says

This word perfectly captures how medieval writers formed verbs—literally 'to ensandal' means 'to sandal someone up,' which is simultaneously specific and absurdly obscure!
