Except if (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unless

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">except if</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('unless' can mean 'except if...')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for unless that I've seen before include "Except on the condition that" , "Conjunction meaning except when" , "Except, save" , "Though" , "Conditional on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times, The Daily Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, the Universal, The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Guardian and the Newsday.
