Etymology of INCURTAIN

The word "incurtain" is a combination of two separate words: "in" and "curtain".

The word "in" is a preposition in English, indicating inclusion, containment, or presence within something. It comes from the Old English word "innan", meaning "inside" or "within".

The word "curtain" originates from the Old French word "cortine", which ultimately traces back to the Latin word "cortīna", meaning "curtain" or "tapestry". "Cortīna" referred to a hanging cloth or screen used to separate or conceal spaces. Over time, the word "curtain" expanded in usage to refer to any piece of fabric used to cover or divide an area.

Therefore, when the words "in" and "curtain" are combined to form "incurtain", it creates the concept of covering or enclosing something within or behind a curtain.
