Chance it: Hero? Rogue? Therein, the choice (6-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

either-or

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

'choice' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'chance it hero? rogue? therein' is the wordplay.
'EITHER OR' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for either-or that I've seen before include "One or the other" , "Unavoidable choice between two alternatives" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
