Contend (for) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vie

'contend for' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for vie that I've seen before include "Jockey" , "Compete (with others)" , "Compete for something" , "Contend, compete" , "Rival" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
