Handcuffs, fetters (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

manacles

This clue is a double definition.

'handcuffs' is the first definition.
('manacle' can be a synonym of 'handcuff')

'fetters' is the second definition.
(manacling is a kind of fettering)

(Other definitions for manacles that I've seen before include "Handcuffs" , "Fetters for the hands" , "Shackles for the wrist" , "chains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
