Prevent from breathing by throat compression (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

choke

(Other definitions for choke that I've seen before include "cause congestion" , "Be unable to breathe" , "Become speechless (with emotion)" , "Constrict the throat" , "clog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
