Command to cancel a countdown (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abort

(Other definitions for abort that I've seen before include "Bring to a premature end" , "Terminate prematurely" , "Bring to premature conclusion" , "Stop prematurely" , "Call off (mission) because of problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
