Robbery at sea (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

piracy

'robbery at sea' is the definition.
(what pirates do)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for piracy that I've seen before include "Robbing of ships at sea" , "Robbery at sea or of copyright" , "theft" , "Act of plagiarism" , "Maritime or commercial robbery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, The Mirror and The Telegraph.
