Omission (9)

Ross

I think it could be either:

oversight

exception

'omission' is the definition.
(I know that exception is a type of omission)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for exception that I've seen before include "The one that proves the rule" , "what's against the rules" , "Something that does not follow the rule" , "special case" , "It may be taken after a slight" .)

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