Unscrupulously supplant (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

(Other definitions for usurp that I've seen before include "Seize power without authority" , "Take over - misappropriate" , "Take power unlawfully" , "Take possession of, illegally" , "Seize, take over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
