Hurled from seat of power reportedly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thrown

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

'seat of power reportedly' is the wordplay.
'seat of power' becomes 'throne' (as in a monarch's throne).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'throne' is a homophone of 'THROWN'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for thrown that I've seen before include "given up intentionally" , "Parties are" , "Unseated" , "put out" , "Rabindranath ---, Indian sage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
