Recite the rosary holding cord (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tether

'cord' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'recite the rosary holding' is the wordplay.
'holding' indicates a hidden word.
'TETHER' is hidden within 'recite the rosary'.

(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "Rope; the exasperated at the end of it" , "Rope to fasten or restrain animal" , "Tie with rope or chain" , "Rope restricting animal's movement" , "lead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
