I see MP has exotic accent (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emphasise

'accent' is the definition.
('accent'->'emphasize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'i see mp has exotic' is the wordplay.
'exotic' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'see'+'mp'+'has'='iseemphas'
'iseemphas' anagrammed gives 'EMPHASISE'.

(Other definitions for emphasise that I've seen before include "Mashes pie (anag.)" , "'Stress, accentuate (9)'" , "Give extra weight to, stress" , "Give extra importance to" , "Place stress on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
