Give authority to (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

empower

'give authority to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for empower that I've seen before include "Authorize" , "Give strength and confidence to" , "Give authority to, enable" , "Give authority to, authorise" , "Authorise, endue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
