Throw off course (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deflect

(Other definitions for deflect that I've seen before include "Cause to go off course" , "Turn aside or deviate from course." , "Swerve" , "Turn aside from an intended course" , "Turn from straight course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
