Apology opener (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mea

'apology opener' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Another definition for mea that I've seen is " My fault - . . . culpa".)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, The Chronicle of Higher Education, the L.A. Times Daily, the New York Times, the Newsday and the L.A. Times Sunday.
