Openly resist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defy

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">openly resist</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for defy that I've seen before include "Challenge or resist" , "Openly resist (authority etc)" , "Withstand" , "Refuse to obey (person)" , "Resist (someone) openly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
