Crossword Genius

Opening grip (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrance

I believe this is a double definition.

'opening' is the first definition.
(opening leading to a building)

'grip' is the second definition.
(grip can mean to fascinate or entrance)

(Other definitions for entrance that I've seen before include "Fill with wonder, door" , "Right of admission" , "Hold" , "Send" , "Capture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
