Loses a lap? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rises

'loses a lap?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rises that I've seen before include "Comes or goes upward" , "Moves upwards" , "Moves upward" , "Gets up" , "Ascends" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
