lashed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'los angeles outbuilding' is the wordplay.
'los angeles' becomes 'LA' (abbreviation).
'outbuilding' becomes 'shed' (outbuilding in a garden).
'la'+'shed'='LASHED'

'with rope in' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lashed that I've seen before include "Hit" , "Verbally attacked" , "severely punished" , "Fastened securely" , "Tied; whipped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
