Sanction (9)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4 7 8 9*

'sanction' is the definition.
('sanction'->'authorize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for authorise that I've seen before include "Sanction or establish officially" , "warrant" , "Empower, permit" , "OK" , "commission" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
