Assign to a lower position (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relegate

'assign to a lower position' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for relegate that I've seen before include "Assign to a lower position" , "Move to a lower division" , "Consign to less important place - maybe a soccer team" , "Send down" , "Transfer to a lower division" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Guardian.
