Stops state troubles with withdrawal of currency (6)
I believe the answer is:
averts
'stops' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'state troubles with withdrawal of currency' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'state' could be 'aver' (both can mean to declare) and 'aver' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for averts that I've seen before include "Deflects, heads off" , "Wards off" , "Turns away or causes to turn away" , "Of eyes or gaze, turns away" , "Turns aside" .)
