Least remote (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearest

'least remote' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nearest that I've seen before include "Most approximate" , "Closest, being earnest" , "Most local" , "Most adjacent" , "touching?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
