Stop, halt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cease

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'stop' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'halt' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for cease that I've seen before include "Stop, finish" , "Desist" , "Stop, give over" , "Political group" , "Come to an end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
