Action to avoid detection (7)

I believe the answer is:

stealth

(Other definitions for stealth that I've seen before include "Halt set in furtive manner" , "Kind of indirect tax" , "Cats display this" , "Quiet or secret way of behaviour" , "quality needed by cat burglars" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
