Deter; postpone (3,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

put off

This clue is a double definition.

'deter' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'postpone' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for put off that I've seen before include "Dissuaded - discouraged" , "Postpone or dissuade" , "Throw" , "Postpone, repel" , "'Never ... ... till tomorrow what you can do today'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
