Misplace (4)

I believe the answer is:

lose

'misplace' is the definition.
(I know that misplace is a more specific form of lose)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lose that I've seen before include "Mislay - fail" , "Don't win" , "Suffer a defeat" , "Be beaten" , "Fail to win" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal, The New York Times, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
