To encase something is to cover it or shut it in completely, as if you have put it into a case. The thing inside cannot easily be seen or touched until the covering comes off. You might encase a phone in a hard shell, encase food in ice, or encase a broken arm in plaster. Writers also stretch it a little: a person encased in silence, a building encased in glass. The core idea stays the same — something is all the way around it. It is a bit more formal than wrap or cover. Cover can mean only on top; encase means all the way round.
包住、封住、完全包覆。
組成en- (in, into) + case (a box or covering). To put something into a case.
