Definition
安顿 is a transitive verb meaning 'to settle (someone) in' or 'to arrange accommodations for (someone)'. You often use it with 把 to emphasize the object being settled: 把…安顿在… (settle someone somewhere). It can also be used reflexively or for things like animals. Do not confuse with the stative sense 'peaceful' — that is a different usage not covered here.
