Merely (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

only

just

'merely' is the definition.
(I know that merely can be written as only)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for only that I've seen before include "See 6" , "Merely; single" , ". . . . the Lonely (sung by Roy Orbison)" , "Existing alone with no other, perhaps a child" , "Siblingless (child)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Penny Press, The Independent, the Newsday, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the USA Today and The Star Tribune.
