Appropriate (6)

Ross

'appropriate' is the definition.
(both can mean to seize from others)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pre-empt that I've seen before include "Grab first; forestall" , "Secure as first-comer" , "Acquire before others can do so" , "Forestall, do before anyone else can" , "Render useless by prior action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
