Execute the rogue holding Bond (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tether

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

'execute the rogue holding' is the wordplay.
'holding' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'TETHER' is hidden in the letters of 'execute the rogue'.

(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Tie animal to prevent from straying" , "Restrain a horse with a rope" , "Restraining rope for animals" , "Rope for restraining animal (6)" , "End of ones --" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
