Missing, lacking (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absent

This clue is a double definition.

'missing' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'lacking' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for absent that I've seen before include "Away" , "Not present or focused" , "lack of attention" , "Forgetful, with mind on other things" , "nowhere to be seen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
