To relinquish office (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demit

'to relinquish office' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for demit that I've seen before include "Dismiss" , "Timed (anag.); to lower or to resign" , "Send" , "Yield" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
