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 Penny Press, the Universal, the USA Today, the Newsday, The Washington Post, the LA Times, The Telegraph, the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and The Times.
