Halt ice melting for good (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ethical

'for good' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'halt ice melting' is the wordplay.
'melting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'halt'+'ice'='haltice'
'haltice' anagrammed gives 'ETHICAL'.

(Other definitions for ethical that I've seen before include "In accordance with approved moral standards" , "Moral, honest" , "lt's available on prescription only" , "Morally good or correct" , "Morally right" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
