Restrict one's movements in the winter nowadays (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intern

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restrict one's movements' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in the winter nowadays' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'INTERN' can be found hidden inside 'winter nowadays'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intern that I've seen before include "22 [IMPRISON]" , "Student" , "Confine the hospital doctor" , "Put in prison" , "Supervised medical graduate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
