Refrained from harming (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spared

'refrained from harming' 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 "Saved" , "Showed mercy, refrained from hurting" , "Treated mercifully" , "forgiven" , "Voluntarily parted with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
