To store up or accumulate something, especially supplies or resources.
Combining 'en-' with 'store', from Old French 'estorer' meaning to provide or stock. The 'en-' prefix emphasizes the action of gathering and preserving for future use.
Merchants and ship captains used 'enstore' when preparing for long voyages—filling the hold with supplies meant you had to enstore everything systematically, which explains why the word appears so often in nautical logs from the 1600s.
