Make numb (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deaden

'make numb' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for deaden that I've seen before include "Make weaker or quieter" , "Take life" , "Make numb, deprive of feeling" , "Muffle impact" , "Muffle, deprive of feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Washington Post Sunday, The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
