Etymology of ENCLOTHE

The word "enclothe" is a combination of the prefix "en-" which means "to cause to be" or "to make", and the root word "clothe", which means "to cover with or as if with clothing".

The root word "clothe" originated from the Old English word "clāthian", which meant "to cover with clothing" or "to provide clothing".
