Enrolement, Fr. enrollment. This term, according to the military acceptation of it in the French service, differs from the words engagement, enlistment, inasmuch as in some instances, the officer enrolls or enlists a soldier without his consent; whereas in others the soldier is enrolled, after having declared that he voluntarily enlisted.

ENSEIGNE, Fr. the colors, originally derived from the Latin word Insignire. The French designate all warlike symbols under the term enseigne; but they again distinguish that word by the appellations of drapeaux, colors, and étendarts, standards. Drapeaux or colors are particularly characteristic of the infantry; étendarts or standards belong to the cavalry. We make the same distinctions in our service. See [Colors].

Enseigne de vaisseau, Fr. The lowest commissioned officer in the French navy.

ENSHIELD, to cover from the enemy.

ENSIFORM, having the shape of a sword.
