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