Sticking with jerk (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tic

'jerk' is the definition.
(jerking movement by the body)

'sticking with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'TIC' can be found hidden inside 'sticking'.

(Other definitions for tic that I've seen before include "Convulsion" , "Involuntary twitch" , "Involuntary muscular spasm" , "Muscle twitch" , "Nervous movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
