Order used in some dictionaries (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edict

'order' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'in some dictionaries' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'EDICT' can be found hidden inside 'some dictionaries'.

'used' is the link.

(Other definitions for edict that I've seen before include "Order issued by an authority" , "An official command" , "Cited (anag) - proclamation" , "Decree, fiat" , "Cited an official proclamation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
