enwrapping

Covering on all sides

Enwrapping is the act of wrapping or enveloping something completely.

The word is literary and somewhat archaic, suggesting thorough enclosure: Fog enwrapping the valley made the road invisible.

It appears most often as a present participle describing something in the process of surrounding or covering another thing.
