cohere

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bond's' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'commanding officer's arrived' is the wordplay.
'commanding officer' becomes 'co'.
'arrived' becomes 'here' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'co'+'here'='COHERE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cohere that I've seen before include "Hold firmly together" , "Stick together, remain united" , "Fuse together" , "Cling" , "Stick or hold together and resist separation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
