The power to act (6)

I believe the answer is:

agency

'the power to act' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for agency that I've seen before include "Cagney (anag.)" , "Bureau; instrumentality" , "The A in CIA" , "Government unit - business providing services" , "Travel --; dating --" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
