Governs (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rules

'governs' is the definition.
('rule' can be a synonym of 'govern')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rules that I've seen before include "Is king" , "Reigns" , "Laws; draws lines" , "is supreme, OK?" , "Conventions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and The Mirror.
