How to use "Enfold" in context?
If you've ever tried to wrap your arms around someone, you know that it's not easy. Your arms have to be wide enough to wrap around the other person, and your hands have to fit comfortably in the other person's armpits. But what if there was a way to completely enfold someone in a hug?
To do this, you would need to be close enough to hug, but not too close. You would also need to be able to control the momentum of the hug, so that it's not too tight or too gentle.
