Crossword Genius

With target organised, allowing no escape (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

watertight

'allowing no escape' is the definition.

'with target organised' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with'+'target'='withtarget'
'withtarget' with letters rearranged gives 'WATERTIGHT'.

(Other definitions for watertight that I've seen before include "Unassailable" , "Impregnable" , "Without loopholes" , "Proof against leaking" , "seaworthy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
