Plant government ombudsman on the inside (6)
I believe the answer is:
entomb
'plant' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't see how one could define the other.
'government ombudsman on the inside' is the wordplay.
'on the inside' indicates a hidden word.
'ENTOMB' can be found hidden inside 'government ombudsman'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for entomb that I've seen before include "to finish Aida, for example" , "put to rest" , "Place a dead body in a vault" , "put in ground" , "Lay to rest in an underground vault" .)
