Is kidnapped by second of two to bring about charge (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ionise

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

'charge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'is kidnapped by second of two to bring' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'about' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ionise that I've seen before include "Produce charged particles in (something)" , "charge" .)
