Confiscate, appropriate (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

impound

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">confiscate</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that confiscate can be written as impound)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">appropriate</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(appropriate can mean to take or impound)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for impound that I've seen before include "Seize and confine (illegal vehicle)" , "Seize and take custody of (items)" , "Seize and take into legal custody" , "Seize (goods) legally" , "put cordon round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
