Decree, order (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edict

I believe this is a double definition.

'decree' is the first definition.
(I know that decree can be written as edict)

'order' is the second definition.
(I know that order can be written as edict)

(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Declaration" , "Legally binding proclamation" , "Decree, fiat" , "Cited an official proclamation" , "Canon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
