Objects gently (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

demurs

(Other definitions for demurs that I've seen before include "Takes exception to - red sum (anag)" , "Dissents, baulks" , "Dissents or disagrees mildly" , "Raises objection, dissents" , "'Dissents, balks (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
