Slight error (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">slight error</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 lapse that I've seen before include "A slight error or a passage of time" , "Momentary mistake" , "Error; oversight" , "Slip, error" , "Slip; sounds like circuits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph and The Star Tribune.
