Turn away (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avert

'turn away' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for avert that I've seen before include "use preventive measures" , "Prevent from happening" , "Prevent from occurring" , "Turn away, prevent" , "Prevent, ward off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Mirror, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press and The Telegraph.
