Kept up (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sustained

'kept up' is the definition.
('sustain' can be a synonym of 'keep up')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sustained that I've seen before include "held up" , "Kept (something) going" , "Kept going, supported" , "suffered" , "Steady" .)

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