Tuck

What is the meaning of the verb "tuck" ?
It seems quite undefined to me. We use it in "tucked him in bed" , "tuck the ball away" ,"tuck your shirt" etc. What is its exact meaning ?

Tuck = to secure within a given confine, most often two of the ones you mentioned. I'll tuck you in after you say your prayers. Tuck your shirt in if you want to make a good first impression.
