Stops going off to bars (6)
I believe the answer is:
aborts
'stops going' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to change as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'off to bars' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'bars'='tobars'
'tobars' anagrammed gives 'ABORTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aborts that I've seen before include "Terminates prematurely or miscarries" , "Pulls the plug on" , "Brings to premature end" , "Ends prematurely" , "Brings to premature conclusion" .)
