enwrap

Cover on all sides

Enwrap means to wrap up, enclose, or envelop something completely.

It carries a slightly more literary or emphatic quality than simple wrap, suggesting thorough covering or surrounding.

The word appears most often in figurative contexts describing being completely absorbed or engulfed: She was enwrapped in thought.

Something enwrapped in mystery or darkness is thoroughly surrounded by it, with no part left exposed.
