Suddenly terminated (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

axed

(Other definitions for axed that I've seen before include "Abandoned or curtailed - using hatchet?" , "Cancelled or dismissed suddenly" , "removed" , "Sacked with a hatchet? (4)" , "Discontinued with hatchet?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
