Neutralize (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defuse

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for defuse that I've seen before include "Make (a bomb) inactive" , "Remove the trigger from" , "Render bomb or situation harmless" , "Make (bomb) safe" , "Make less dangerous" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the LA Times.
