En- \En-\
1. [F. en-, L. in.] A prefix signifying in or into, used in
many English words, chiefly those borrowed from the
French. Some English words are written indifferently with
en-or in-. For ease of pronunciation it is commonly
changed to em-before p, b, and m, as in employ, embody,
emmew. It is sometimes used to give a causal force, as in
enable, enfeeble, to cause to be, or to make, able, or
feeble; and sometimes merely gives an intensive force, as
in enchasten. See {In-}.
2. A prefix from Gr. ? in, meaning in; as, encephalon,
entomology. See {In-}.
