Hold I cannot break (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contain

'hold' is the definition.
('contain' can be a synonym of 'hold')

'i cannot break' is the wordplay.
'break' is an anagram indicator.
'i'+'cannot'='icannot'
'icannot' with letters rearranged gives 'CONTAIN'.

(Other definitions for contain that I've seen before include "keep within bounds" , "I cannot (anag) - hold back" , "Keep the lid on" , "Enclose" , "Include - restrict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
