Somehow entrap guardian (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parent

'guardian' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'somehow entrap' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'entrap' anagrammed gives 'PARENT'.

(Other definitions for parent that I've seen before include "Author" , "The company of which others are subsidiaries" , "Raise" , "person responsible for children" , "One with children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
