Some record I sent ombudsman to unearth (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disentomb

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

'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" .)
