Hold in custody (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detain

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hold in custody</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for detain that I've seen before include "Confine" , "Sing to (someone)" , "Hold in detention" , "Keep in custody; hold back" , "Keep waiting or in confinement" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times, the Universal and the Evening Standard.
