Withstood (8)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

8

resisted

'withstood' is the definition.
('resist' can be a synonym of 'withstand')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for resisted that I've seen before include "Put up defence, perhaps against arrest" , "Opposed, fought against" , "Fought back" , "Took stand with editress" , "Struggled against" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Mirror, the Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, the L.A. Times Daily, the New York Times, The Sun, The Chronicle of Higher Education and The Telegraph.
