Execute by strangulation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garrotte

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">execute by strangulation</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for garrotte that I've seen before include "Apparatus for execution by strangulation" , "Instrument of execution by strangulation" , "Spanish killer" , "Apply throttle" , "Strangle with wire/cord" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
