Covers her sounds at sea (9)

I believe the answer is:

enshrouds

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

'covers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'her sounds at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates an anagram.
'her'+'sounds'='hersounds'
'hersounds' with letters rearranged gives 'ENSHROUDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
