To take something or someone out of the ground after it has been buried.
Unbury reverses the act of burying, and it is used when a body, a treasure or an object is brought back out of the earth. It is close in meaning to exhume and disinter, but it feels plainer and less legal. Writers also stretch it to figures of speech, such as digging up a buried secret or an old memory.
