"___ we forget . . ." (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lest

(Other definitions for lest that I've seen before include "To avoid the risk that - we forget?" , "For fear that (something should happen)" , "In order not to, say forget?" , "In case" , "For fear that; in order to prevent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Newsday, the USA Today, the Penny Press, the Universal, the LA Times and The New York Times.
