Puts the kibosh on (5)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

halts

'puts the kibosh on' is the definition.
('halt' can be a synonym of 'put the kibosh on')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for halts that I've seen before include "Brings to an end" , "Stops moving or progress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
