Abrupt rejection (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebuff

'abrupt rejection' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rebuff that I've seen before include "Brush off" , "Ungraciously reject" , "Drive back" , "Turn off" , "Beat back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Times.
