Cause to deviate (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deflect

(Other definitions for deflect that I've seen before include "Parry, turn aside" , "Turn aside from an intended course" , "Turn aside or deviate from course." , "Change course" , "Swerve" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
