I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">chaperone</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that chaperone is a more specific form of escort)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "Companion in corset, perhaps military" , "Person who accompanies or guards another" , "going in convoy" , "giving protection" , "Person(s) accompanying someone or something as protection" .)
