Marking time (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idle

'marking time' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Good-for-nothing" , "-- Jack, pantomime character" , "Indolent" , "Member of comedy team" , "Lied about being lazy or not working" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
