Farm building not likely to collapse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'farm building' is the definition.
(I know that stable is a type of farm building)

'not likely to collapse' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'likely to' could be 'able' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'able' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'st' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stable that I've seen before include "Firm - building for animals" , "Animal accommodation is steady" , "container for punch, for instance" , "farm building" , "Standing firm" .)
