Catch parent dancing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrap

'catch' is the definition.
(to entrap is to catch with a trap)

'parent dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parent' with letters rearranged gives 'ENTRAP'.

(Other definitions for entrap that I've seen before include "Take" , "Parent (anag)" , "Catch like parent" , "Frame -- stitch up" , "Catch - frame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
