Besmirch (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

mar

tar

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">besmirch</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for mar that I've seen before include "'Impair, spoil (3)'" , "Blemish" , "Ram into and spoil" , "Cause harm" , "hurt" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Universal, the LA Times and The Sunday Times.
