capsulation
Wrapping something up
Capsulation is the act or process of enclosing something in a capsule, or the state of being so enclosed.
The term appears in pharmaceutical contexts—capsulation of medication—and in biology, where tissue may form a protective membrane around a foreign body or infection.
More commonly rendered as encapsulation.
