Crossword Genius

Guts put in container (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bottle

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'guts' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'put' is the second definition.
(bottling is a kind of putting)

'in' acts as a link.

'container' is the third definition.
(I know that bottle is a container)

(Other definitions for bottle that I've seen before include "Nerve (sl.)" , "Heart" , "(Drink) container" , "Nebuchadnezzar?" , "Narrow-necked vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
