Etymology: Encaser is built from encase, which is en- ("into") plus case, meaning a box or container. The verb therefore means putting something into a box or casing. The suffix -er, added to encase, turns it into a noun for the act of enclosing. Case comes through Old French from Latin "capsa," a box or chest, which is also the source of the English word capsule.

Synonyms: wrapper, container
