nhume (V): Bury; inter; entomb.
This word can be broken as “in” meaning “in, within” and humus means, “earth”. The idea here is to place something into, within the earth. The next word is the antonym of this word and here “ex-“ means “out”. Thus the word means to take something out of ground.
Exhume (V): To remove from a grave disinter; disentomb; unearth.
Example:
“After the body is exhumed the DNA tests will be carried out in order to identify the victim”.
Humus (N): A black or brown organic material, which is consisting partially or wholly, decayed vegetable, which provides nutrients to plants and increases the ability of soil to retain water.
Humus is the Latin for soil.
