Abstains from food (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fasts

'abstains from food' is the definition.
('fast' can be a synonym of 'abstain from food')

This is all the clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the King Feature Syndicate.
