To assign or provide with lodging or living quarters, especially for soldiers.
From prefix 'en-' (to put into a state) + 'quarter' (lodging). Common in military history, meaning to station troops in civilian homes or barracks.
During wars, armies would 'enquarter' soldiers in towns—essentially forcing local families to feed and house troops, which was deeply resented and a major source of conflict during the American Revolution.
