Dissuade (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deter

'dissuade' is the definition.
(I know that dissuade can be written as deter)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deter that I've seen before include "Discourage or prevent from doing something" , "Cause not to do something" , "Try to prevent" , "Discourage (someone from an action)" , "stop" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The New York Times, the Evening Standard, The Sun, The Telegraph, the LA Times, the Newsday, the Penny Press and The Mirror.
