Stop translating Sartre (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrest

'stop' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'translating sartre' is the wordplay.
'translating' indicates an anagram.
'sartre' anagrammed gives 'ARREST'.

(Other definitions for arrest that I've seen before include "Bring to a standstill" , "Cause to stop" , "Nab" , "Stop - take into custody" , "Seize (a crime suspect)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
