Envault

/ɛnˈvɔlt/ verb

Definition

To enclose or secure something in a vault; to place something in a strong protective container or storage.

Etymology

From 'en-' (to cause to be) plus 'vault' (secure underground chamber). This follows the productive pattern of English verbs created with the 'en-' prefix.

Kelly Says

Banks literally 'envault' your money, but the metaphorical use is richer—when someone 'envaults' their emotions, they're locking them away, which is exactly the psychological pattern therapists work to unlock.
