Handcuff (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

manacle

shackle

'handcuff' is the definition.
(I know that handcuff can be written as manacle)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for manacle that I've seen before include "Curb" , "restricting at the cuff?" , "Fetter" , "Handcuff" , "Hand/ankle restraint" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Universal, the L.A. Times Daily and the Evening Standard.
