Remain in position (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'remain' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'in position' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'SIT' is hidden within 'position'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sit that I've seen before include "Pose (for artist)" , "Take a chair" , "Serve (on jury)" , "To take the test" , "Rest on one's haunches" .)
