to store or place something in a magazine or warehouse for safekeeping.
From en- (prefix meaning 'to put into') + magazine (from French magasin, ultimately from Arabic makhzan meaning 'storehouse'). The term emerged in English to describe the act of storing ammunition, supplies, or goods in a dedicated storage facility.
This word represents a fascinating moment in English history when we needed verbs for new industrial activities—just like we now 'email' and 'text,' people once 'enmagazined' their ammunition as warfare became more industrialized.
