Let off the hook

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'let off the hook' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spared that I've seen before include "Let off by padres" , "Avoided incurring" , "Showed mercy, refrained from hurting" , "Voluntarily parted with" , "forgiven" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
