enrobed

Wrapped in garments

Enrobed means covered or clothed, typically in something that wraps around completely.

The word appears most often in two contexts: formal or literary descriptions of ceremonial dress enrobed in velvet, and confectionery, where enrobed describes candies or fruits coated in chocolate enrobed almonds.

In both cases, the covering is complete and deliberate.
