A chapter bound to be given (8)

I believe the answer is:

accorded

'be given' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a chapter bound' is the wordplay.
'chapter' becomes 'c' (abbreviation).
'bound' becomes 'corded' (cording is a kind of binding).
'a'+'c'+'corded'='ACCORDED'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for accorded that I've seen is " given".)
