Formally give up (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cede

'formally give up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Give away" , "Yield, give way" , "Deliver" , "Give up (territory)" , "Surrender or yield" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Times, the L.A. Times Daily, the Jonesin Crosswords, the Newsday.com, the Jonesin' and The Washington Post.
