Open-handed hit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slap

'open-handed hit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for slap that I've seen before include "Strike action" , "Strike with the palm" , "Make-up (slang)" , "Blow (in face, on back, wrist)" , "Blow with open hand" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
