Evidence of a crossword solver's mistake, maybe

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erasure

(Other definitions for erasure that I've seen before include "Deletion by an act of expunging" , "Removal" , "Process of rubbing out" , "Effect of surface damage" , "Censorship" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
