Formally reject (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veto

'formally reject' is the definition.
(to veto is to reject or disallow)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for veto that I've seen before include "Throw out" , "Forbid outright" , "Embargo" , "Vote to block a decision" , "The power to prohibit or reject a proposal" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
