Neglect? Ring embassy (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omission

'neglect?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'ring embassy' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'o'.
'embassy' becomes 'mission' (I've seen this before).
'o'+'mission'='OMISSION'

(Other definitions for omission that I've seen before include "task not done" , "lapse" , "A thing left out" , "Exclusion" , "Something left out or forgotten" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
