     [ "ensconced" ]

    1: Ensconced means that something has been surrounded by something else. Like a lightbulb being surrounded by a lampshade. The lightbulb has been ensconced in the lampshade.

      * e.g.,  ... Person’s friend: Man, that light is so annoying, have you thought about getting it ensconced? Person: Dafaq is that supposed to mean? Person’s friend: you know, surrounding it with something to direct the light so it doesn’t annoy me by getting in my eyes. Like a lampshade for example… Person: Oh… that makes more sense, yeah the old lampshade broke, and I just haven’t gotten around to getting a new one I guess. Person’s friend: Well we have time now, let’s go out and get a new one.
