Pay due regard to board (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keep

I believe this is a double definition.

'pay due regard to' is the first definition.
(as in keeping a promise)

'board' is the second definition.
(both can mean payment for lodgings)

(Other definitions for keep that I've seen before include "honour" , "Main tower within the walls of a castle" , "Retain or care for" , "Eg, beef" , "Remain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
