Continue providing subsistence (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keep

I believe this is a double definition.

'continue' is the first definition.
(keeping is a kind of continuing)

'subsistence' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'providing' is the link.

(Other definitions for keep that I've seen before include "Only one cricketer on field will" , "Subsistence" , "Retain, maintain" , "Board and lodgings, perhaps" , "Living" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
