enrobes

Wraps in garments

Enrobes means covers or wraps, typically in a coating or outer layer.

The word appears most often in food contexts, where chocolate or another coating enrobes a filling: The truffles are enrobed in dark chocolate.

More broadly, to enrobe is to dress or clothe, though this use sounds formal or literary: Mist enrobed the valley.
