Rubbish from dictator (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tat

'rubbish' is the definition.
(low-quality items or material)

'from dictator' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'TAT' is hidden in the letters of 'dictator'.

(Other definitions for tat that I've seen before include "Make lace using a small shuttle" , "Worthless goods" , "Tawdry or shabby articles" , "Tawdry stuff" , "Bric-a-brac" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
