Bedaub (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">bedaub</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "allegation" , "Medical examiner may take this" , "sample on slide" , "Slanderous denigration of character" , "Bedaub with oily stuff - defame" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
