Stick or split? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cleave

This clue is a double definition.

'stick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'split?' is the second definition.
('cleave' can be a synonym of 'split')

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cleave that I've seen before include "Join or split" , "remain attached" , "Split apart - stick together" , "Split or cling to" , "Split with the grain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
