adhered
Held on tight
Adhered is the past tense of adhere, meaning to stick fast or cling to a surface: The label adhered to the jar.
More often, adhered describes following rules, beliefs, or agreements: She adhered strictly to the diet, They adhered to the terms of the contract.
The figurative sense of faithful compliance is now more common than the physical one.
