On the periphery (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outer

'on the periphery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for outer that I've seen before include "Objective" , "External kind of route" , "External; part of archery target" , "This space is beyond earth's atmosphere" , "Surrounding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Newsday.com, The Guardian, the LA Times, the Wall Street Journal and The Sun.
