INCRUST Meaning and
Definition
-
The verb "incrust" refers to the act of covering or coating a surface, typically a hard one, with a layer of material or substance. The resulting layer can be solid, compact or encrusted in nature. This process is often done to protect the underlying surface, enhance its appearance, or add a decorative touch.
When something is incrusted, it means it is firmly embedded or attached to a surface, forming a crust-like layer. This can occur naturally, such as when minerals or sediments accumulate over time and encase an object, or it can be a deliberate human action, like applying a decorative glaze or a layer of cement to a wall.
The term "incrust" can also be used metaphorically to describe the process of something becoming embedded or entrenched in someone's mind or personality. For example, a traumatic experience may incrust itself in a person's memory, making it difficult to forget or move on from.
Overall, the word "incrust" is used to describe various processes of coating, covering, or embedding a surface, whether it is for protective, aesthetic, or symbolic purposes.

Etymology of INCRUST
The word "incrust" is derived from the Latin word "incrustare", which is a combination of the prefix "in-" meaning "into" and the root "crusta", meaning "crust" or "hard outer layer". In Latin, "incrustare" referred to the process of covering or embedding something in a hard outer layer, similar to the formation of a crust. The word "incrust" entered the English language in the 16th century and has retained a similar meaning, referring to the act of forming a crust-like layer on a surface.
