enframe

/ɛnfɹˈeɪm/ verb

To enclose in, or as if in, a frame.

Word Origin A hybrid: Latin in- 'in' and Old English framian 'to construct, shape' — literally 'to put into a frame.' Enframe means to enclose in a frame, like a picture. The root framian is related to frame, framework, and framer. The PIE root *per- meant 'to bring forward,' so framing is about constructing something that stands forward. The en- prefix is the same as in enclose, entrap, and encircle.
