Holds firmly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grasps

(Other definitions for grasps that I've seen before include "holds" , "Takes hold of firmly" , "Gets hold of" , "Understands" , "Takes firm grip of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday.com and the L.A. Times Daily.
