Capture parent going wild (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrap

'capture' is the definition.
(I know that entrap is a more specific form of capture)

'parent going wild' is the wordplay.
'going wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'parent' anagrammed gives 'ENTRAP'.

(Other definitions for entrap that I've seen before include "Ensnare, catch" , "Catch like parent" , "decoy" , "net" , "Snare - inveigle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
