Withdraw formally (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

secede

'withdraw formally' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for secede that I've seen before include "Formally withdraw (from federal union)" , "Withdraw (politically)" , "'Withdraw formally, from a political body perhaps (6)'" , "Formally achieve independence" , "Withdraw from a body, a nation say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The New York Times.
