Takes parents out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entraps

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

'parents out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'parents' is an anagram of 'ENTRAPS'.

(Other definitions for entraps that I've seen before include "nets" , "Takes" , "frames" , "Catches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
