encapsulator
Thing that encloses
An encapsulator is something that encapsulates—that encloses, contains, or summarizes.
In technical contexts, it often refers to a device or component that seals something within a protective casing: The encapsulator coats the medication in a gelatin shell.
In programming, an encapsulator wraps data or functionality to control access or simplify interfaces.
