Withstood (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

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 Sun, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, the New York Times, The Telegraph, The Mirror, the Wall Street Journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education and The Guardian.
