Gets closer to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nears

'gets closer to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for nears that I've seen before include "Gets closer" , "Draws closer to" , "Draws close" , "Bears down" , "is approaching" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times, the Penny Press, the USA Today, The Telegraph, The Times, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the Newsday.com.
