embosk (em-BOSK) - v., to hide in foliage.


Greenery, leaves, and the like. This can be the camouflage of serious hiding or simply going into an arbor. Coined from Enlgish prefix en- (in the form used in front of m-, p-, and b- stems), to go in + bosk, thicket/small wood, from Middle English, from Late Latin busca or boscus, woodland, from Germanic root *buskaz, brush/thicket.

(I'd put a pic here, but it's hiding in the bushes.)
