Took up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adopted

'took up' is the definition.
('adopt' can be a synonym of 'take up')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for adopted that I've seen before include "Espoused" , "Chose to follow" , "Took into one's family" , "Like issue raised by others" , "Taken as one's own" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
