Peremptory request (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demand

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for demand that I've seen before include "Request forcefully" , "Ask peremptorily or call for" , "Claim; insist on" , "Request made emphatically as by right" , "Urgent or peremptory request" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Irish Times.
