Etymology: "Enclouds" is the third-person singular present form of "encloud," a verb meaning to cover with clouds. The verb is built from the prefix "en-," which turns a noun into a verb meaning to put into or cover with the thing named, and the noun "cloud." So "encloud" is a plain formation: something is made to be wrapped in clouds, much as "enshroud" wraps something in a shroud.

Synonyms: obscures, covers, shrouds, veils, darkens
