Rejects abruptly (7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
rebuffs
'rejects abruptly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for rebuffs that I've seen before include "Rejects outright and bluntly" , "Rejects abruptly" , "Brushes off" , "Checks" , "Snubs" .)
