Command (7)

Ross

'command' is the definition.
(I know that dictate is a more specific form of govern)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dictate that I've seen before include "Command" , "Determine; read out to be taken down" , "Give orders like Stalin" , "say" , "speak slowly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.
