Fall behind (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lag

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">fall behind</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for lag that I've seen before include "An old one is a convict" , "Wrap water-pipes; fall behine" , "Convict (slang)" , "Wrap to protect from frost" , "Drop behind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, the L.A. Times Sunday, the Penny Press, The New York Times, The Irish Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian, The Times, The Mirror, The Telegraph, the Universal, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Magazine, the Newsday, The Sun and the LA Times.
