Kidnapped person (7)

I believe the answer is:

hostage

(Other definitions for hostage that I've seen before include "One seized as security" , "Person held by kidnapper for ransom" , "She-goat (anag)" , "One held as security" , "Prisoner held as surety" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
