Hapless one (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schmo

'hapless one' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for schmo that I've seen before include "Boring American" , "Fool (Yiddish)" , "Inept person (US_informal)" , "jerk" , "clot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Newsday and the USA Today.
