Hold on to (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retain

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hold on to</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(retaining is a kind of holding on to)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(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 Telegraph, the LA Times, The Guardian, The New York Times, the USA Today and the Penny Press.
