Not as many (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fewer

'not as many' is the definition.
('few' can be the opposite of 'many' so perhaps 'fewer' is reasonable for 'not as many')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fewer that I've seen before include "Not so many" , "smaller number of people" , "in smaller numbers" , "Less in number" , "Reduced" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Sun and the USA Today.
