Crossword Genius

Remain in staff (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stick

This clue is a double definition.

'remain' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stick that I've seen before include "Adhere; baton" , "Adhere - cane" , "Switch < put up" , "Baton; gum" , "Join firm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
