Stay away (from) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abstain

'stay away from' is the definition.

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abstain that I've seen before include "Take no part" , "Keep away from drink" , "Refuse to vote" , "Formally decline to vote" , "Desist" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
