Crossword Genius

Lock up trainee (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intern

This clue is a double definition.

'lock up' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'trainee' is the second definition.
(intern can mean a trainee worker)

(Other definitions for intern that I've seen before include "Hospital worker" , "Imprison (enemy aliens)" , "Imprison the young doctor without trial" , "Shut up" , "Detain in custody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
