Abstains from eating (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fasts

'abstains from eating' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fasts that I've seen before include "Abstains from food" , "Times of abstinence" , "Goes hungry" , "Avoids food" , "Goes without food" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Evening Standard and the USA Today.
