Stops if shine's going off (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finishes

'stops' is the definition.
('finish' can be a synonym of 'stop')

'if shine's going off' is the wordplay.
'going off' indicates an anagram.
'if'+'shines'='ifshines'
'ifshines' is an anagram of 'FINISHES'.

(Other definitions for finishes that I've seen before include "Ends, completes" , "Concludes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
