Crossword Genius

The girl Olivier regularly used will be put off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shelve

'put off' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'the girl olivier regularly used' is the wordplay.
'the girl' becomes 'she'.
'regularly used' indicates alternate letters (letters selected on a regular basis).
The alternating letters of 'olivier' are 'lve'.
'she'+'lve'='SHELVE'

'will be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for shelve that I've seen before include "Store" , "Lay aside" , "Put on one 1 down" , "Put aside for the present, plan or book" , "Put on one side" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
