To put or position something (especially military equipment like guns or missiles) in a particular place or location.
From the prefix 'em-' (to put in/on) plus 'place,' forming a verb in the 15th-16th century; commonly used in military contexts to describe positioning weapons.
Military engineers use 'emplace' when they're setting up fortifications or artillery—it's a precise word meaning not just 'put down' but 'position strategically in a place.'
