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 Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sun, the Canadiana, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The Guardian and The Times.
