Defective region in Evesham is spotted (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amiss

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

'region in evesham is spotted' is the wordplay.
'region in' indicates a hidden word.
'AMISS' is hidden within 'evesham is spotted'.

(Other definitions for amiss that I've seen before include "Wrongly" , "error" , "Badly - wrong" , "Haywire" , "Wrorg" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
