Lose as a penalty (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forfeit

(Other definitions for forfeit that I've seen before include "It has to be paid or given up as a penalty" , "Surrender as a penalty" , "Give up or lose the right to something" , "Something given up as a penalty" , "Sacrifice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
