Crossword Genius

Nick is brought back in central location (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

collar

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

'brought back in central location' is the wordplay.
'brought back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ralloc' can be found hidden inside 'central location'.
'ralloc' reversed gives 'COLLAR'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for collar that I've seen before include "Nick" , "Appropriate - piece of neckwear" , "Grab one" , "Be hot under the . . . . . . to be angry or resentful" , "Arrest - part of garment" .)
