Grasp collar (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apprehend

I believe this is a double definition.

'grasp' is the first definition.
('apprehend' can be a synonym of 'grasp')

'collar' is the second definition.
('apprehend' can be a synonym of 'collar')

(Other definitions for apprehend that I've seen before include "Arrest (for a crime)" , "Dread; capture" , "Fearfully anticipate" , "Arrest; perceive" , "Be terribly afraid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
