Keeping (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retention

'keeping' is the definition.
(I know that keeping can be written as retention)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for retention that I've seen before include "Capacity to remember" , "maintenance" , "Enter into custody" , "Keeping hold (of something)" , "Saving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
