buries
Puts under earth
Buries is the third-person singular form of bury, which at its core means to place something in the ground and cover it.
The dead are buried in graves; treasure or evidence might be buried to hide it.
Extended uses preserve this sense of putting something out of sight: you can bury your face in your hands, bury yourself in work, or bury a story by placing it where few will notice.
She buries her feelings rather than confronting them.
