Covers something completely underground or hides something deeply; also the act of placing a dead body in the ground for burial.
From Old English byrgan, related to Germanic roots meaning to hide or conceal; originally applied to any concealment, not just death.
Archaeological discoveries happen because people buried things intentionally—from Tutankhamun's tomb to Viking ship burials to time capsules, we learn about history precisely because ancient people wanted to bury their valuables or themselves with ceremony.
