Foiled (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thwarted

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">foiled</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that foiled can be written as thwarted)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for thwarted that I've seen before include "Prevented from succeeding (in something)" , "Frustrated and foiled" , "stopped?" .)

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