Seizes violently (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrests

'seizes violently' is the definition.
('wrest' can be a synonym of 'seize violently')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for wrests that I've seen before include "Seizes forcibly" , "Takes" , "Obtain by seizing forcibly or violently" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
