Held tightly (to) (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clung

(Other definitions for clung that I've seen before include "Held on tight" , "Held on desperately" , "Held on tightly" , "Was emotionally close" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
