Its literal definition is to wrap or bundle oneself up, usually tightly in thick clothing or blankets to keep warm (similar to swathing a baby). It is not only used when wrapping yourself up, but also when covering yourself with a blanket or clothing so that only your head is looking out. Photo: DPAA simile to “einmummeln” is “einmummen”, which derives from “mummen” or “vermummen” and means to disguise or conceal. This matches the previous definition of covering yourself up in a blanket or clothing so that only your head is showing. This informal verb expresses the act or the state of being tucked into your blanket or wrapped in your warm clothing, especially to emphasize that this is snugly, homely and comfy.
