Crossword Genius

Bond inside consulate there (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tether

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

'inside consulate there' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates a hidden word.
'TETHER' is hidden within 'consulate there'.

(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Rope for confining animal" , "moor" , "Rope to hobble a horse" , "Restraint for animal" , "Restraining rope for animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
