Banish to the country (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rusticate

(Other definitions for rusticate that I've seen before include "Rough up" , "Suspend from university" , "Banish to countryside" , "send down student" , "Banish to the country or from university" .)

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