Master no longer wanting to be in charge? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overpower

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'master' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'no longer wanting to be in charge?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'be' could be 'owe' (owing is a kind of being) and 'owe' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overpower that I've seen before include "Get the better of" , "Subdue, vanquish" , "Defeat with superior strength" , "Best" , "Conquer" .)
