Order thesaurus in online form? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edict

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

This could be a double definition.

'order' is the first definition.
('edict' can be a synonym of 'order')

'thesaurus in online form?' is the second definition.
'edict' can be an answer for 'form?' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'thesaurus in online' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Official order" , "Legally binding command" , "Decree, fiat" , "Regulation" , "Formal order" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
