Crossword Genius

Give up power (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kick

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'give up' is the first definition.
(kicking is a kind of giving up)

'power' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for kick that I've seen before include "Boot, thrill of pleasure" , "Thrill of excitement" , "Hit with foot" , "Put the boot in?" , "Give up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Times and The Telegraph.
