Dissuade(d) (3,3)

I believe the answer is:

put off

(Other definitions for put off that I've seen before include "Deter; postpone" , "Don't ... ... till tomorrow what can be done today" , "'Never ... ... till tomorrow what you can do today'" , "Deter; deterred" , "confuse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
