Can hide here and there though confined to one area (7)

I believe the answer is:

chained

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

'there though confined to one area' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'can hide here' is the wordplay.
'can hide' can be anagrammed to 'CHAINED'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for chained that I've seen is " In fetters".)
