Reduce in rank (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demote

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">reduce in rank</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for demote that I've seen before include "Move down in rank" , "Relegate" , "Put down in rank" , "Reduce to lower rank as punishment" , "Move to lower status" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Penny Press, The Irish Times and The Telegraph.
