Treated mercifully (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spared

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">treated mercifully</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for spared that I've seen before include "Avoided incurring" , "Let off by padres" , "Was merciful toward, refrained from harming" , "did without" , "Voluntarily parted with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
