Tie down securely

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lash

'tie down securely' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lash that I've seen before include "Hit with a whip" , "Secure with rope" , "Beat; fasten with cord" , "Beat severely with a whip" , "Birch" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
