Crossword Genius

Bit of wood glue (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stick

This clue is a double definition.

'bit of wood' is the first definition.
(a stick is a bit of wood from a tree)

'glue' is the second definition.
(to stick with glue)

(Other definitions for stick that I've seen before include "heavy criticism" , "Gear lever; adhere" , "Staff - criticism" , "School punishment once" , "Rod" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
