Inadvertent error (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slip

(Other definitions for slip that I've seen before include "Slight error" , "Lose footing as on banana skin" , "Error; piece of paper" , "Lose footing or make mistake" , "Mistake -- small piece of paper" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
