Why “bonehouse” is a great word

BONEHOUSE — [Noun] A term for the human body, a corpse, or a building for holding the bones of the dead. From Old English bānhūs, a compound of bān ("bone") and hūs ("house"), literally meaning "bone-house." Unlike "charnel house," which denotes a specific physical repository, or "corpse," a neutral clinical term, "bonehouse" is an archaic and poetic metaphor that binds the living and the dead. It is the cathedral of calcium we inhabit in life, the weary tenement after the tenant departs, and the silent, stacked gallery of an ossuary—a memento mori built not of stone, but of the self.

noun

A body.“[…] beyond whatever - a comfort to consider those bones - Or run my hand over elastic frail ribcage, the woman I love, her pulse of desire. What store of affection inside the bonehouse? Tilt of the chin, and how her denim skirt falls to her shoes.”
A corpse.“[…] but the poet, having moved through a landscape that is defined by images of barrenness and desolation — trees "lorn of all delicious apple," an empty house given over to "dust that filmed the deadened air," "the bonehouse of a rabbit," […]”
A building for holding the remains of the dead.
