Tyrant some Parisian beat up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tyrant' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'some parisian beat up' is the wordplay.
'some parisian' becomes 'des' ('some' in French).
'beat up' becomes 'pot' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'des'+'pot'='DESPOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for despot that I've seen before include "Posted (anag)" , "who treats others badly?" , "nasty ruler?" , "Posted by tyrant" , "monster?" .)
