Take away by force (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrest

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">take away by force</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 wrest that I've seen before include "Forcibly pull (something from someone's grip)" , "Obtain forcibly" , "Forcibly pull away" , "Grab" , "Take away forcibly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
