Ensconce is a verb, which means to establish or settle firmly or comfortably for a long period of time. It also means to conceal or shelter in a safe place. Not to be confused with a Sconce which refers to a wall lamp. We can have some fun with this one. It is an easy word to ensconce into your vocabulary, with practice. Here are some examples for how it can be used in a sentence.

"Happy is the person who not only sings, but feels God's eye is on the sparrow, and knows He watches over me. To be simply ensconced in God is true joy." Alfred A. Montapert
