bury
Place beneath earth
To bury is to put something in the ground and cover it.
The dead are buried in graves; dogs bury bones; pirates bury treasure.
Extended uses keep the sense of concealment or submersion: She buried her face in her hands, He buried himself in work.
To bury the hatchet is to make peace.
To bury the lede is to delay the main point of a story.
