Crossword Genius

Stick or twist: dare he? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adhere

'stick' is the definition.
('adhere' can be a synonym of 'stick')

'twist dare he?' is the wordplay.
'twist' is an anagram indicator.
'dare'+'he'='darehe'
'darehe' anagrammed gives 'ADHERE'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adhere that I've seen before include "Stick L" , "Stick to, cling" , "Remain attached" , "Stick to - cement" , "Stick with header" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
