Subdued, being married together (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cowed

'subdued' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'married together' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'co' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'together' becomes 'wed' (I've seen this in another clue).
'co'+'wed'='COWED'

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for cowed that I've seen before include "Subdued in bovine way?" , "Subdued, kept under" , "Browbeaten" , "Intimidated, subdued" , "Overawed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
