partnership (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alliance

'partnership' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alliance that I've seen before include "The joining by political agreement or treaty" , "Association for mutual benefit" , "Combination by treaty" , "Kind of partnership with canaille" , "Formal agreement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Wall Street Journal.
