The killing of a king (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regicide

'the killing of a king' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for regicide that I've seen before include "High-level murder" , "Killing monarch" , "Major criminal" , "Charles I's fate" , "Killer of monarch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
