Host confiscates our magazine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armoury

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'magazine' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'host confiscates our' is the wordplay.
'host' becomes 'army' (both can mean a large number of people).
'confiscates' indicates putting letters inside.
'army' placed around 'our' is 'ARMOURY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for armoury that I've seen before include "Where weapons are kept" , "Weapon store" , "Weapons store" , "Ordnance depot" , "Magazine for our army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
