Hold on to (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retain

'hold on to' is the definition.
(retaining is a kind of holding on to)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for retain that I've seen before include "Keep; remember" , "Keep in place" , "Hold in position" , "Keep, hold on to something" , "Hire - keep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the USA Today, The Telegraph, The New York Times and the LA Times.
