Incapsulating, in this context, isn't a word.

You want encapsulate. Encapsulation. Encapsulating.

The "en" prefix means put into or on something. You're saying you're putting something into a capsule or "isolating it".

The "in" prefix in English usually is the negative, or "not".

Intolerable: not tolerable.



Thanks for correction. I am not a native English speaker and in Russian(my native language) the word Encapsulation starts with Cyrillic "и" to which the closest analogue in Latin is "i" - hence the confusion!

I figured, I'm a native English speaker learning Russian, as it happens.

Будем здоровы
