Utter defeat (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rout

'utter defeat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rout that I've seen before include "Rowdy mob" , "Disastrous defeat" , "Defeat utterly" , "Devastating defeat" , "Decisive defeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
