enclave

Pronounced: EHN-klave, noun

Notes: Our word has a specialized meaning that I did not know


Yesterday’s word

The word uberous means “abundant; fruitful”

First usage

Our word came into English in the early 1600s

Background / Comments

These days, we tend to use “uber-” as a prefix meaning ‘super’ or ‘superb’; because of this, I was incorrect in my guess at the meaning of our word. Our word just comes from the Latin word uber (rich; fruitful; abundant).
