Holds tight (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grips

'holds tight' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for grips that I've seen before include "Holds securely" , "Holds tightly" , "Holds firmly" , "Keeps a firm hold of; travelling bags" , "Tightly hold" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
