Detain (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrest

'detain' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Stop (on suspicion)" , "Take into custody as police do" , "Stop, check (progress)" , "Bring to a standstill" , "apprehend a law-breaker" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
