A cuff on the wrist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manacle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a cuff' is the first definition.
('manacle' can be a synonym of 'cuff')

'the wrist' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manacle that I've seen before include "restricting at the cuff?" , "Metal shackle" , "Curb" , "Shackle on the wrist" , "Handcuff" .)
