Fail to keep a promise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

renege

'fail to keep a promise' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for renege that I've seen before include "Withdraw" , "In card games, revoke" , "Fail to follow suit or fulfil a promise" , "South American cowboy" , "Fail to carry out a commitment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today, The Irish Times and The New York Times.
