Grow tense (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tighten

'grow tense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tighten that I've seen before include "Make more taut" , "Restrict" , "Stiffen" , "Become more tense" , "Make stricter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
