Except when (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unless

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">except when</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('except when' can mean 'unless')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for unless that I've seen before include "Except, save" , "bar" , "Conjunction meaning except when" , "Conditional on" , "Though" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Mirror and The Times.
