Ross

I believe the answer is:

lacks

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">is deficient in</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 lacks that I've seen before include "Doesn't have" , "Is without, wants" , "Has a want" , "Needs" , "Wants, is deficient in" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Evening Standard and The Independent.
