Etymology of INSCONCE

The word "insconce" is derived from the Middle French word "ensconcier" which means "to fortify" or "to settle securely". It was further influenced by the Old French word "enscunser" with a similar meaning. The Middle French and Old French words, in turn, trace their origins back to the Latin word "conscnare" meaning "to settle", which is a combination of "con-" (thoroughly) and "scnare" (to place). Over time, "ensconcier" evolved into "insconce" in English, retaining its sense of securely settling or protecting something.
