Fight back (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resist

'fight back' is the definition.
(I know that resist is a more specific form of fight back)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for resist that I've seen before include "Use force to prevent something from happening to sister" , "Bar" , "Offer opposition to" , "'Withstand, fight against (6)'" , "Refuse to comply" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Wall Street Journal and The Star Tribune.
