Less distant (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

closer

nearer

'less distant' is the definition.
('close' can be the opposite of 'distant' so perhaps 'closer' is reasonable for 'less distant')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for closer that I've seen before include "More near or imminent" , "One winds up" , "Not so far off" , "Nearer in time or space" , "Less distant" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Wall Street Journal, the Thinks.com, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
