Introduction to the verb enrocher
The English translation of the French verb enrocher is “to fortify or strengthen with rocks.” The infinitive form is pronounced “ahn-roh-shay.”
Enrocher originates from the French word “rocher,” meaning “rock.” It is most often used in everyday French in the Subjonctif Plus-que-parfait tense, which is the past subjunctive tense used to express actions that were completed before another past action.

- Il avait enroché le barrage pour résister aux inondations. (He had strengthened the dam to withstand the floods.)
- Elle avait enroché sa position en construisant une forteresse. (She had fortified her position by building a fortress.)
In all of these examples, the verb enrocher is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action and is often used in a figurative sense to describe fortification or strengthening.
