Give up, as territory (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cede

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for cede that I've seen before include "Transfer" , "Surrender or yield" , "Give away" , "Yield or give up to another" , "Give up one's rights" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, the Newsday.com, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Washington Post.
