Seize power (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

'seize power' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for usurp that I've seen before include "Oust" , "Assume authority" , "Take power unlawfully" , "Take over - misappropriate" , "Appropriate without authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
