Incrust for Dummies

Incrust is a word that might sound a bit complicated at first, but don't worry, I'm here to help you understand it easily! When we talk about incrust, we mean covering something with a hard layer or crust. Imagine you have a piece of bread and you spread a thick layer of peanut butter on top of it. That layer of peanut butter is sort of like an incrustation, because it covers the bread and makes it harder on the outside.

Now, let's break it down a bit more to make sure we fully understand. Imagine you're going outside after a rainy day to jump in some big puddles. When you come back home, your shoes are all dirty, covered in mud. Your mom tells you to take off your shoes, but you notice that the mud has become hard and stuck to the shoes. It has formed a layer of dry, crusty mud on the surface. That crusty mud is an incrustation.

It's kind of like when you eat an apple and you leave it out for too long. The juice from the apple evaporates, and what's left behind is a sticky, hard layer on the surface that's difficult to remove. That layer is also an incrustation.

So, to sum it up, incrust means to cover or coat something with a hard layer, like how mud can crust over your shoes or how peanut butter can form an incrustation on your bread. It's all about something becoming covered and encrusted with another substance. I hope that explanation makes it easier for you to understand!
