Expropriate greeting card? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hijack

'expropriate' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'greeting card?' is the wordplay.
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'card?' becomes 'jack' (type of playing card).
'hi'+'jack'='HIJACK'

(Other definitions for hijack that I've seen before include "Illegally commandeer and divert" , "Illegally take over (a plane or ship)" , "Steal, in transit" , "Rainwater conduit" , "Illegal activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
