Crossword Genius

Fear capture (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apprehend

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fear' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'capture' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for apprehend that I've seen before include "Arrest (someone)" , "Fearfully anticipate" , "Be terribly afraid" , "Arrest (for a crime)" , "Arrest - grasp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
