Gave the slip (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lost

'gave the slip' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lost that I've seen before include "Mislaid or irretrievable" , "TV series!" , "Mislaid or was defeated" , "Unable to be found" , "Suffered defeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
