Gets closer to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nears

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

(Other definitions for nears that I've seen before include "Gets closer" , "Draws closer to" , "Draws close" , "Bears down" , "is approaching" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Telegraph, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The Times, the Newsday, the Universal, The Washington Post and the L.A. Times Daily.
