Keeping a firm hold (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenacious

'keeping a firm hold' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tenacious that I've seen before include "refusing to give up" , "Determined" , "Holding fast" , "Persistent in holding on" , "Holding or sticking firmly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
