Reversed and finished getting lured out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overruled

'reversed' is the definition.
('overrule' can be a synonym of 'reverse')

'finished getting lured out' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'lured' is an anagram of 'ruled'.
'over'+'ruled'='OVERRULED'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for overruled that I've seen before include "Countermanded" , "Reversed decision of" , "Cancelled" , "Forced to change a decision" , "Disallowed by exercising one's authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
