Enwrite

/ɛnˈraɪt/ verb

Definition

To write about or to include in written form; an archaic or rare term meaning to compose in writing.

Etymology

From the prefix 'en-' (to cause to be) + 'write' (from Old English 'wrītan'). This rare word follows the pattern of other en- + verb combinations meaning to make something or put something into a certain state.

Kelly Says

This extremely rare word shows how creatively Old English speakers could combine prefixes with verbs—if something was enwritten, it was permanently fixed in text, almost sacred compared to mere speech.
