Seize power (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">seize power</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 usurp that I've seen before include "Oust" , "Assume authority" , "Take power unlawfully" , "Take over - misappropriate" , "Appropriate without authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
