Prepare for conflict (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embattle

'prepare for conflict' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for embattle that I've seen before include "strengthen the defence" , "Arrange in readiness for conflict" , "Make ready to fight; belt mate (anagram)" , "add strength" , "Fortify" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
