Masterstroke (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coup

'masterstroke' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for coup that I've seen before include "revolution?" , "Brilliant and notable success" , "A successful action or revolt" , "Sudden change, illegally or by force" , "Successful exploit or action" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sunday Times, The Mirror, The Telegraph and The Times.
