Despotic rule (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tyranny

'despotic rule' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tyranny that I've seen before include "Despotic rule" , "Dominance through threat of punishment and violence" , "Reign of terror" , "Cruel and arbitrary rule" , "Cruel and oppressive rule" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
