Crossword Genius

Kidnapper's muscle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abductor

This clue is a double definition.

'kidnapper's' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'muscle' is the second definition.
(abductor muscle is a kind of muscle)

(Other definitions for abductor that I've seen before include "Taker (of someone)" , "Paris, for example" , "Person snatching, eg, a child" , "Muscle" , "Kidnapper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
