Usage Note
Enterrado is the past participle of enterrar used as an adjective, meaning physically buried underground or, figuratively, deeply embedded or forgotten. Note the double-r spelling, which gives the trilled pronunciation. The figurative sense appears in phrases like un tema enterrado ('a buried issue'), meaning something no one wants to revisit.
Examples
"El tesoro estaba enterrado bajo el árbol."
Natural Translation
The treasure was buried under the tree.
