Taken (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accepted

'taken' is the definition.
('accept' can be a synonym of 'take')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for accepted that I've seen before include "Agreed to receive, or approved" , "Conventional -- customary" , "Welcomed" , "Received something offered" , "Receive willingly" .)

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