Defeated party (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loser

'defeated party' is the definition.
(person who lost or was defeated)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for loser that I've seen before include "Generally inept" , "lemon" , "Someone who fails consistently" , "Unsuccessful person" , "Unsuccessful type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
