Find bureau near the couch (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unearth

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

'couch' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'find bureau near the' is the wordplay.
'find' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'found' mean this).
'UNEARTH' is hidden within 'bureau near the'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unearth that I've seen before include "Cut a certain wire" , "Disconnect terminal" , "Discover" , "Exhume" , "dredge up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
