Answer:

The prefix en- means "cause to".

Step-by-step explanation:

The general sense of the prefix en- is to cause something or someone to be in the place, state or condition named by the stem. In the same way, the prefix en- could mean to put into or to make. Some examples are: enrich, enslave, endear, encourage, enable.
