Definitions

  1. concealing something under the ground

Word origin

From Middle English biriel, a backformation from biriels, which was re-interpreted as a plural, itself from from Old English byrġels, from byrġan (“to bury”) + -els. By surface analysis, bury + -al, but originally unrelated to this suffix.

Used in a sentence

  • His whole family was present at his burial.
  • The mourners listened as the priest performed the burial service of long-time parishioner Wendy Stuart.
  • However, many Cromlechs and Dolmins are carelessly called "Druid's circles", when in reality they were the burial places of ancient chieftains and their households[.]
