Approached (6)

I think it could be either:

neared

cameat

'approached' is the definition.
('near' can be a synonym of 'approach')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for neared that I've seen before include "Approached, drew close" , "Got closer" , "Drew nigh" , "Drew closer to" , "Approached, came close" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
