Act dejected (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mope

'act dejected' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mope that I've seen before include "Misery guts" , "Feel dejected and apathetic" , "Become gloomy" , "Hang around being miserable" , "Sulk; mooch" .)

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