Has been (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

was

'has been' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for was that I've seen before include "(He/she/it) existed" , "Used to be" , "Existed in the past" , "Did live" , "Is no longer" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Mirror.
