Bound to be hit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lashed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'bound' is the first definition.
(lashing is a kind of binding)

'be hit' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lashed that I've seen before include "Tied -- beaten" , "Fastened securely" , "Flogged" , "severely punished" , "Verbally attacked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
