INCRUSTED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "incrusted" refers to the action or process of forming or creating a hard, outer layer or coating on a surface. It is commonly used to describe the act of encrusting or covering something with a layer that is made of various materials, such as minerals, substances, or other solid matter.

   When something is "incrusted," it means that it has been thoroughly covered, embedded, or encrusted with a coating or layer that is often hard and difficult to remove. This layer may form naturally, such as when minerals or sediment accumulate over time on a rock's surface, or it may be intentionally applied by humans to protect or enhance an object's appearance. For example, a metal object could be incrusted with gemstones or precious metals to add value or decorative detail.

   Incrusting can occur on a wide variety of surfaces, including rocks, minerals, metals, wood, glass, ceramics, and even organic materials. The resulting encrusted layer may have a rough or bumpy texture, providing additional visual interest or protection against wear and tear.

   The term "incrusted" can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is heavily coated or covered with something figurative, such as an idea, belief, or mindset. In such cases, it implies that the layers of this intangible coating are deeply embedded or ingrained, making it difficult to remove or change.

2. Covered as with a crust.

Etymology of INCRUSTED

The word "incrusted" has its roots in the Latin word "incrustare", which is a combination of the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "into") and the verb "crustare" (meaning "to cover with a crust"). The Latin term eventually evolved into the Old French word "encruster", and later into the Middle English term "encrust". Over time, the prefix "en-" in English was replaced by "in-" (as seen in "encrusted" becoming "incrusted"). The word "incrusted" refers to the act of covering or coating something with a hard surface or layer, similar to the formation of a crust.
