Seize forcibly (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

wrest

usurp

'seize forcibly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for wrest that I've seen before include "Remove with force" , "The old piano tuner" , "Take away by force" , "Seize (control)" , "Forcibly pull away" .)

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