Some record I sent ombudsman to unearth (9)
I believe the answer is:
disentomb
'unearth' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'some record i sent ombudsman' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'DISENTOMB' is hidden within 'record i sent ombudsman'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for disentomb that I've seen before include "Remove from burial place" , "empty mausoleum" .)
