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