Step down from the throne (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abdicate

(Other definitions for abdicate that I've seen before include "stand down" , "Resign from monarchy" , "Resign from the crown or major responsibility" , "Give up a throne" , "Give up power" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
