Become more tense (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tighten

'become more tense' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tighten that I've seen before include "Stiffen" , "put the squeeze on" , "Fasten more firmly" , "Give an extra turn" , "get tense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
