Crossword Genius

Meet Bond, unfortunately getting buried (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entombed

'buried' is the definition.
('entomb' can be a synonym of 'bury')

'meet bond unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'meet'+'bond'='meetbond'
'meetbond' anagrammed gives 'ENTOMBED'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for entombed that I've seen before include "Placed in a burial chamber" , "in a grave situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
