Take over from (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relieve

'take over from' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for relieve that I've seen before include "Assuage, ease" , "Allay, alleviate" , "Make less tedious, bring aid to (besieged place)" , "Free someone from duty by taking his place" , "Set free" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
