Tyranny (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despotism

'tyranny' is the definition.
(I know that tyranny can be written as despotism)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for despotism that I've seen before include "Tyranny" , "Cruel rule" , "Autocracy" , "Do miss pet (anag)" , "Arbitrary government" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
