Coup target (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

etat

'coup target' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for etat that I've seen is " Rank".)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
