Caught cold with real shivers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

collared

'caught' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold with real shivers' is the wordplay.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'shivers' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'shivering' mean this).
'real' is an anagram of 'lare'.
'cold' enclosing 'lare' is 'COLLARED'.

(Other definitions for collared that I've seen before include "Captured" , "Apprehended (colloq.)" , "like some doves and peccaries" , "Arrested" , "like certain doves" .)
