Take by force - with the others (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wrest

'take by force' is the definition.
(wresting is a kind of taking by force)

'with the others' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'the others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in other clues).
'w'+'rest'='WREST'

(Other definitions for wrest that I've seen before include "Forcibly remove (from another's possession)" , "Forcibly pull (something from someone's grip)" , "Forcibly pull away" , "The old piano tuner" , "Seize by forceful means" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
