The word 'cling' is a verb, meaning to adhere or stick firmly or closely to; to be hard to part or remove from; to be persistently or stubbornly faithful to something; to be overly emotionally dependent on someone.

Example sentence:

After decades in this country, my parents still cling to some old world ways.
Cling: To grip (tightly). To hold onto.

"'Please do not cling to me as a kitten hanging from living room drapes.'"

"One can cling to the bars so that they do not fall."
