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