Barely defeated (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edged

'barely defeated' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for edged that I've seen before include "Provided with a border" , "so moved forward slowly" , "Moved sideways slowly" , "Stole" , "with the ability to cut" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The New York Times and the Universal.
