Fit to be maintained, believed or defended (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenable

(Other definitions for tenable that I've seen before include "Able to be defended against attack or objection" , "Believable" , "Able to be held" , "Of argument, rational and defensible" , "okay as regards defence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
