Shelve (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defer

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

(Other definitions for defer that I've seen before include "Freed in order to postpone" , "stall" , "Put off, postpone" , "Capitulate" , "Play for time" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
