Drop in standard (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "Slip; sounds like circuits" , "Sepal (anag)" , "Revert (to bad habits, etc)" , "Temporary failure of judgment or concentration" , "Backslide" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
