"Lovable" archetype (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loser

(Other definitions for loser that I've seen before include "One vanquished" , "One who frequently fails (colloq.)" , "Someone who fails consistently" , "One who is (always) unsuccessful" , "Non-achiever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
