Keeps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retains

'keeps' is the definition.
('retain' can be a synonym of 'keep')

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for retains that I've seen is " Holds back, keeps".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard and the LA Times.
