Grow tense (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tighten

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">grow tense</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tighten that I've seen before include "Make more taut" , "Restrict" , "Stiffen" , "Become more tense" , "Make stricter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
