Old American man (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

used

'old' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'american man' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for United States).
'man' becomes 'ed' (short for edward).
'us'+'ed'='USED'

(Other definitions for used that I've seen before include "No longer new" , "Dog-eared" , "Sued, having been employed" , "like majority of cars?" , "Not fresh" .)
