Order from Burmese dictator (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edict

'order' is the definition.
(I know that order can be written as edict)

'from burmese dictator' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'EDICT' is hidden within 'burmese dictator'.

(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "An official command" , "Formal order" , "Official decree" , "Decree, fiat" , "Proclamation, law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
