I believe the answer is:

inter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bury' is the definition.
(to inter is to put into the ground)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for inter that I've seen before include "Bury a body - in the middle?" , "Bury - Milan football club" , "Football Club at home in San Siro" , "set underground" , "Prefix for between - bury it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
