Maintained it's Enid's move (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insisted

'maintained' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'it's enid's move' is the wordplay.
'move' indicates an anagram.
'its'+'enids'='itsenids'
'itsenids' anagrammed gives 'INSISTED'.

(Other definitions for insisted that I've seen before include "Declared emphatically about tidiness" , "Asserted, took a firm stand" , "... repeated" , "Maintained firmly" , "Tidiness (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
