Nearer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

closer

'nearer' is the definition.
('close' can be a synonym of 'near')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for closer that I've seen before include "More near or imminent" , "denser" , "within a shorter distance" , "Stuffier" , "More airless; nearer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
