Crossword Genius

Check the chorus (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refrain

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'check' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'chorus' is the second definition.
(I know that chorus can be written as refrain)

'the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for refrain that I've seen before include "Musical phrase" , "Do without" , "Words repeated after verses" , "Kindly desist - from song?" , "Main theme" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
