To place in or cover with a charnel (a burial place or grave).
From 'en-' plus 'charnel,' which comes from Old French 'charnel' (of death or burial), from Latin 'caro' (flesh). The word evolved to refer specifically to places where bones were stored.
Charnel houses became infamous during plague times when corpses accumulated faster than graves could be dug—the word carries the weight of medieval public health disasters.
