Lack of proper care (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neglect

'lack of proper care' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for neglect that I've seen before include "Heedlessness" , "Disregard or fail to care for" , "Disuse" , "Fail to notice or care for" , "Insufficiently attend to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
