I believe the answer is:
ceased
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">desisted</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ceased that I've seen before include "Stopped, desisted" , "Stopped or discontinued" , "Came to an end" , "Stopped, quit" , "Finished" .)
