Word origin
The word 'ensnare' originated from the Middle English word 'ensnaren' which means 'to catch in a snare'. The prefix 'en-' means 'in' or 'into', and 'snare' comes from Old English 'snaer' meaning 'noose'. The concept of ensnaring has been used throughout history in the context of hunting and trapping animals, and later evolved to include metaphorical trapping of individuals in various situations.
