Tied up and whipped (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lashed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tied up' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'whipped' is the second definition.
('lash' can be a synonym of 'whip')

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lashed that I've seen before include "Hit" , "Fastened securely" , "severely punished" , "Tied -- beaten" , "Flogged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
