Continue in spite of resistance (7)

I believe the answer is:

persist

'continue in spite of resistance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for persist that I've seen before include "Stripes (anag)" , "Continue in spite of resistance" , "Pursue course doggedly" , "Go on and on" , "carry on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
