Etymology
The term 'enfold' originates from the Middle English word 'enfolden', which is derived from the combination of the prefix 'en-' meaning 'to cause to be in' and 'fold', which itself comes from Old English 'fealdan', meaning 'to fold'. The act of folding has been a fundamental action in various cultures, often implying an action of concealment or protection. Its usage has evolved, but the foundational idea of surrounding or enclosing something remains central. The word reflects both physical and metaphorical meanings; it can describe the literal action of wrapping or the figurative idea of embracing concepts, emotions, or relationships.
