Contract snag? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catch

This clue is a double definition.

'contract' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'snag?' is the second definition.
(snagging is a kind of catching)

(Other definitions for catch that I've seen before include "Apprehend - funny song" , "Arrest" , "Get a grip on" , "potential partner?" , "Good match" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
