Catches parents entangled (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entraps

'catches' is the definition.
(entrapping is a kind of catching)

'parents entangled' is the wordplay.
'entangled' indicates an anagram.
'parents' is an anagram of 'ENTRAPS'.

(Other definitions for entraps that I've seen before include "Catches" , "nets" , "frames" , "Takes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
