ensconced

adjective

  1. not comparable Placed in a secure environment. Even if you are ensconced in a pandemic pod with a romantic partner or family members, you can still feel lonely — often camouflaged as sadness, irritability, anger and lethargy — because you’re not getting the full range of human interactions that you need, almost like not eating a balanced diet.
  2. not comparable Settled comfortably. Ensconced, each in a large fauteuil, wrapped in loose, white dressing-gowns, the hair only gathered with a single riband, sat the two friends.

verb

  1. participle, past simple past and past participle of ensconce
