Check (6)

Ross

'check' is the definition.
(I know that detain is a more specific form of check)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for detain that I've seen before include "Confine" , "Ate din (anag.)" , "Hold back - arrest" , "Keep (someone) held in custody" , "Hold or keep back, maybe for questioning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
