Be unsuccessful (4)

I believe the answer is:

fail

'be unsuccessful' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

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 Newsday, the LA Times, the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Mirror and the Sydney Morning Herald.
