Be unsuccessful (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fail

'be unsuccessful' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fail that I've seen before include "Don't succeed" , "Let down" , "Be unsuccessful, say in exam" , "Flunk" , "Be unable to achieve one's object" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the LA Times, the Evening Standard, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, the Newsday and The Irish Times.
