Jumps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leaps

'jumps' is the definition.
('leap' can be a synonym of 'jump')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for leaps that I've seen before include "Pales (anag.)" , "Makes fast progress - by . . . . . and bounds" , "Jumps or springs suddenly" , "Pales in vaults" , "Jumps or bounds" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday.com, the Penny Press, the Family Time, the Universal, The Mirror, the USA Today and The Telegraph.
