For the 'anomalous'J/{psi} suppression in Pb-Pb collision announced by NA50 Collaboration I propose new mechanism accessible to the novel behavior of the data. The point of new idea is to focus on in-medium effects on the masses of mesons containing charmed quarks. In QCD sum rule analysis, I find that the D-meson involving one charmed quark feels more attractive force from the surrounding nucleons than the charmonium composed of two charmed quarks. As a result, it will appear that as the nucleon density increases DD-bar threshold in turn falls below higher-lying charmonium states ({psi}{sup '},{chi}{sub c}) which have the energy levels below the threshold in vacuum. Finally, also for the low-lying J/{psi} state, a larger decay channel to the threshold could be opened up. Therefore, this mechanism can qualitatively explain some features of the anomalous J/{psi} suppression without advent of deconfinement phase.
