enterrar


Explanation:
Sugestão porque algumas coisas simplesmente significam o que são mesmo na área técnica há projetos em construção civil onde são feitos "enterros" para que a superfície fique mais firme. Isso tudo depois que removem a terra do local para às vezes colocar fortificações embaixo junto com a terra garantindo mais segurança às vezes até camadas de concreto.
