Secures Elsa's heart? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lands

'secures' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how they can define each other.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for lands that I've seen before include "Obtains" , "Comes ashore" , "Alights" , "See 21" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
