Definition
The act or process of stacking or piling up; accumulation or heap formation.
Etymology
From 'entass' (an archaic or dialectal verb meaning to pile up or accumulate) plus '-ment' (noun-forming suffix). Likely related to French 'tasse' (pile) or similar Romance roots.
Kelly Says
This word is so rare that it barely appears in modern English, but it reveals how speakers once could create verbs freely from nouns—'tass' (a pile) became 'entass' (to pile up), then 'entassment' (the piling), showing English's old flexibility.
