Agrippa shows firm hold (4)

I believe the answer is:

grip

'firm hold' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'agrippa shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates a hidden word.
'GRIP' is hidden within 'agrippa'.

(Other definitions for grip that I've seen before include "Hold tightly in hand" , "Domination" , "Engage" , "Hold tight" , "Grasp tightly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
