#E93 (engaging to engirdle)
from The Dictionary
I read from engaging to engirdle. The Poe quote is from "The Black Cat". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Cat_(short_story) https://poestories.com/read/blackcat https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/p/poes-short-stories/summary-and-analysis/the-black-cat I was confused. There isn't a specific piece of torture equipment that's called the "engine" but rather any torture device used to be called an "engine". https://engineering.mit.edu/engage/ask-an-engineer/whats-the-difference-between-a-motor-and-an-engine/#:~:text=In%20its%20journey%20through%20French,or%20decoy%2C%E2%80%9D%20says%20Fuller. The word of the episode is "engender".
