Guy to stick around (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stay

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'guy' is the first definition.
(both can mean a rope)

'to stick around' is the second definition.
('stay' can be a synonym of 'stick around')

(Other definitions for stay that I've seen before include "Thin strip used to stiffen a garment" , "Period in one place" , "Rope bracing a mast etc" , "Remain; detain" , "Visit (for the night)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
