encasing
Putting in covering
Encasing is surrounding or covering something completely, as if putting it in a case.
The word suggests thorough containment: The fossil was encased in rock, chocolate encasing a cream filling.
Ice encases branches; amber encases insects; concrete encases structural supports.
