Stop working woman getting fur (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disable

'stop working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'woman getting fur' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'Di' (short for Diana).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'fur' becomes 'sable' (sable is a kind of fur).
'di'+'sable'='DISABLE'

(Other definitions for disable that I've seen before include "Deactivate" , "Weaken" , "Make inoperable" , "Stop working" , "cripple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
