To enclose or form into a sphere; to surround completely as if with a globe or ball.
From 'sphere' plus 'en-' prefix. 'Sphere' comes from Latin 'sphæra' and Greek 'sphaira' (ball), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European 'spher-' (to turn/spin).
Astronomers and poets used 'ensphere' to describe how celestial bodies form perfect globes—it captures the idea that natural forces automatically create spherical shapes, from water droplets to planets, which is actually because spheres minimize surface area.
