Act of avoidance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dodge

'act of avoidance' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dodge that I've seen before include "Evade; ruse" , "Duck, move to avoid" , "Evade cunningly" , "Get out of" , "Avoid by quick movement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Wall Street Journal.
