Making a mistake (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erring

'making a mistake' is the definition.
('err' can be a synonym of 'make a mistake')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erring that I've seen before include "Going wrong" , "taking wrong direction" , "Sinful" , "Being incorrect" , "Making a mistake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
