Mistakes resulting from inattention (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapses

'mistakes resulting from inattention' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lapses that I've seen before include "Failures of memory" , "Failures to maintain higher states" , "Slight errors caused by forgetfulness" , "declines" , "Careless mistakes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
