Handcuff (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

manacle

shackle

'handcuff' is the definition.
(I know that handcuff is a more specific form of the action shackle)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shackle that I've seen before include "Restrain, limit" , "Put in irons" , "Manacle" , "Chain, restrain" , "Restrict" .)

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