Kidnap tenor (6)

I believe the answer is:

spirit

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'kidnap' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'tenor' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for spirit that I've seen before include "Courage, strong drink" , "Brandy" , "Demon - drink" , "rum, perhaps" , "25 28 [MARS LANDER]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
