Cruel ruler (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tyrant

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tyrant that I've seen before include "Despotic ruler" , "Martinet" , "bully - with 17d" , "Person dictating" , "Harsh and absolute ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
