Parry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deflect

'parry' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for deflect that I've seen before include "Change course" , "Swerve" , "Parry, turn aside" , "Turn from straight course" , "Cause to go off course" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
