Expectation (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hope

'expectation' is the definition.
(I know that hope is a type of expectation)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for hope that I've seen before include "writer" , "Optimism - English-born US comedian" , "It alone stayed in Pandora's box" , "Anticipation" , "'. . . . springs eternal in the human breast'" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, the Canadiana, The Guardian, The Sun, the Evening Standard and The Times.
