Confirm what might be Arabs uncovered after death (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

endorse

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

'confirm' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'might be arabs uncovered after death' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' could be 'end' (ending is a kind of being) and 'end' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'what' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for endorse that I've seen before include "Corroborate" , "Red ones (anag.)" , "Give support or approval to" , "Say you approve" , "Rubber-stamp" .)
