Ignore finished appearance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlook

'ignore' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'finished appearance' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'appearance' becomes 'look' (look is a kind of appearance).
'over'+'look'='OVERLOOK'

(Other definitions for overlook that I've seen before include "Fail to observe or decide to ignore" , "Disregard" , "Keep an eye on" , "excuse" , "Ignore or fail to notice" .)
