Seize without authority (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">seize without authority</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for usurp that I've seen before include "Oust" , "Commandeer" , "Assume by force" , "Supplant (someone in power)" , "Arrogate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the USA Today, the Family Time, The Mirror and The Washington Post.
