Turn away, as one's gaze (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

avert

'turn away as one's gaze' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(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.
