Handcuff (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

manacle

shackle

'handcuff' is the definition.
(I know that handcuff can be written as manacle)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for manacle that I've seen before include "Curb" , "restricting at the cuff?" , "Fetter" , "Handcuff" , "Hand/ankle restraint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, The Guardian, the Universal, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and the New York Times.
