Preclude (4,3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

10

4,3

rule out

'preclude' is the definition.
(I know that preclude can be written as rule out)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rule out that I've seen before include "Exclude from consideration" , "'Eliminate from consideration (4,3)'" , "discount" , "Exclude as a possibility" , "Eliminate, exclude as irrelevant" .)

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