Seize without authority (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

usurp

'seize without authority' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for usurp that I've seen before include "Oust" , "Commandeer" , "Assume by force" , "Supplant (someone in power)" , "Arrogate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the USA Today, The Washington Post, The Mirror and the Family Time.
