Lead-in to "long"

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ere

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lead-in to long</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 ere that I've seen before include "Before (literary)" , "Old word for before" , "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "One who steals" , "Old prior" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
