Power grab (6)

I believe the answer is:

putsch

'power grab' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for putsch that I've seen before include "Revolutionary uprising" , "Sudden illegal acquisition of power" , "Violent attempt to overthrow a government" , "Violent attempt to seize power" , "A sudden political uprising" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
