Crushing defeat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rout

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rout that I've seen before include "Inflict heavy defeat on" , "Whitewash" , "Rowdy mob" , "Total defeat in battle" , "Drubbing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Guardian, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, The Telegraph and the New York Times.
