Bind securely (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lash

'bind securely' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lash that I've seen before include "Beat severely with a whip" , "Sweep" , "Fasten with rope; whip" , "Beat; fasten with cord" , "cat hair?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
