Bond hidden in consulate there (6)
I believe the answer is:
tether
'bond' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hidden in consulate there' is the wordplay.
'hidden in' indicates a hidden word.
'TETHER' is hidden in the letters of 'consulate there'.
(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Tie up with a rope, an animal perhaps" , "Tie up (horse)" , "Tie animal to prevent from straying" , "Restrain a horse with a rope" , "Rope for restraining animal (6)" .)
