Make numb (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deaden

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">make numb</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for deaden that I've seen before include "Make weaker or quieter" , "Take life" , "Make numb, deprive of feeling" , "Muffle impact" , "Muffle, deprive of feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post Sunday, the Penny Press, the Universal, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
