Accompany, to protect perhaps (6)

I believe the answer is:

escort

(Other definitions for escort that I've seen before include "Provide company - car - attendant" , "attendance" , "Accompany, to protect perhaps" , "Entourage" , "Chaperone - Cortes (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
