Prevented, as a crisis (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

averted

(Other definitions for averted that I've seen before include "Turned away or warded off" , "Turned away; prevented" , "Turned aside or deflected" , "Turned away, perhaps gaze" , "Prevented, headed off" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
