Ross

I believe the answer is:

deter

'dissuade' is the definition.
(synonyms)

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 Evening Standard, The Mirror, The New York Times, the USA Today, the Penny Press, The Sun, the Newsday, the LA Times and The Telegraph.
