Auspices (5)

I believe the answer is:

aegis

'auspices' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aegis that I've seen before include "strong defence" , "shelter" , "Backing or support" , "Protection - guardianship" , "Auspices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, the Newsday and the Penny Press.
