Stop, obstruct (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

occlude

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">stop</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">obstruct</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that obstruct can be written as occlude)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for occlude that I've seen before include "Close up (an orifice or passage)" , "Shut out, obscure" , "Block, obstruct" , "Cut or shut off" , "Stop up, obstruct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
