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