Fall behind (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lag

'fall behind' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(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 New York Times, The Guardian, the L.A. Times Magazine, the Universal, The Sun, the USA Today, the L.A. Times Sunday, the LA Times, The Irish Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Mirror, The Telegraph and The Star Tribune.
