Disarm (6)
I believe the answer is:
defuse
'disarm' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for defuse that I've seen before include "Disarm bomb etc" , "Make (a bomb) inactive" , "Feed us (anag)" , "Remove the triggering device" , "Reduce dangerous tension or make explosive safe" .)
