<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">check</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(detaining is a kind of checking)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(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 Telegraph, The Independent and The Guardian.
