Forgets Tom is out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omits

'forgets' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tom is out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'tom'+'is'='tomis'
'tomis' anagrammed gives 'OMITS'.

(Other definitions for omits that I've seen before include "misses out" , "Leaves out or neglects" , "skips" , "overlooks" , "Forgets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
