Decapitate (6)

I believe the answer is:

behead

'decapitate' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for behead that I've seen before include "Remove cranium as in old execution" , "Guillotine" , "Carry out execution" , "Top" , "Remove the crown" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Evening Standard, The Irish Times, The Telegraph, The Sun and The Independent.
