Chucked the auditor's chair (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thrown

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

'auditor's chair' is the wordplay.
'auditor's' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'chair' becomes 'throne' (throne is a kind of chair).
'throne' sounds like 'THROWN'.

'the' is the link.

(Other definitions for thrown that I've seen before include "baffled" , "Tossed" , "Rabindranath ---, Indian sage" , "given up intentionally" , "Having been projected through the air" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
