Stay with, as a loyal adherent (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
stick to
'as a loyal adherent' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'stay' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'stay' could be 'stick' (synonyms) and 'stick' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'to' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
