I believe the answer is:

deter

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">dissuade</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for deter that I've seen before include "Discourage or prevent from doing something" , "Cause not to do something" , "Try to prevent" , "Discourage (someone from an action)" , "stop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Newsday, the USA Today, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Sun, The New York Times and the LA Times.
