Keep from leaving (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detain

'keep from leaving' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for detain that I've seen before include "Imprison" , "Keep in official custody" , "Sing to (someone)" , "Take into confinement" , "Hold back, perhaps for questioning" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
