Some embrace devolution and hand over (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cede

'hand over' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'some embrace devolution and' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'CEDE' is hidden in the letters of 'embrace devolution and'.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Deliver" , "Yield formally" , "Surrender or grant" , "Give away" , "21 across" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
