Apply the brakes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slow

'apply the brakes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for slow that I've seen before include "not bright" , "(Clock) behind" , "Taking a long time" , "Dull-witted - late" , "Not quick to understand" .)

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