ensheathed
Wrapped in covering
Ensheathed means enclosed in or as if in a sheath—a protective covering that fits snugly around something.
The word appears most often in scientific or technical contexts: The nerve fibers are ensheathed in myelin.
It can also describe anything wrapped or encased: a sword ensheathed in leather, mountains ensheathed in fog.
