Etymology of ENCHASE

The word "enchase" has its roots in the Old French term "enchas", which ultimately comes from the Latin word "incassare". "Incassare" is derived from "in" (meaning "in" or "into") and "capsa" (meaning "box" or "receptacle"). Over time, the meaning of the term evolved to refer to the process of setting a precious stone into a decorative piece, particularly into metalwork or jewelry. This led to the modern usage of "enchase" to mean the act of setting gems, engraving, or embossing designs on metal or other materials.
