Take forcibly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seize

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">take forcibly</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for seize that I've seen before include "Clutch" , "Grasp suddenly" , "Grasp hold of" , "Grasp firmly" , "Grab by force" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, the King Feature Syndicate and The New York Times.
