Uphold (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defend

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">uphold</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that uphold is a more specific form of defend)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for defend that I've seen before include "Protect from harm" , "Champion" , "Represent the accused" , "Block, as in cricket" , "Fortify" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Universal.
