Take back revolting espressos (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repossess

'take back' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'revolting espressos' is the wordplay.
'revolting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'espressos' anagrammed gives 'REPOSSESS'.

(Other definitions for repossess that I've seen before include "Retake ownership" , "Regain legal ownership" , "Take back ownership" , "Seize assets" , "Take back (goods)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Irish Times.
