Inky smear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blot

'inky smear' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for blot that I've seen before include "Smudge of ink" , "Stain on 1 across?" , "Dry piece of writing" , "Cross out; inky mess" , "Smudge (on escutcheon?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
