Smudge, stain (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blot

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">smudge</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">stain</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that stain can be written as blot)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for blot that I've seen before include "Ink stain; disgrace" , "Smudge of ink" , "Don't do it to your copybook" , "Spot of ink, paint etc" , "Smudge (on escutcheon?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
