Turn away, as one's gaze (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avert

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">turn away as one's gaze</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for avert that I've seen before include "Ward off (bad event)" , "Turn away from, say gaze" , "Ward off, deflect" , "With prominent incisors" , "Forestall" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
