Restraining strap or rope (6)

I believe the answer is:

tether

(Other definitions for tether that I've seen before include "lead" , "Rope restricting animal's movement" , "Rope to secure animal" , "Range of one's endurance: tie up (horses)" , "Restrain within limits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
