Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rusty that I've seen before include "Oxidised, corroded" , "Reddish," , "(Of iron) corroded" , "affected by inactivity" , "Having a reddish-orange oxide coating" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Newsday, The Sunday Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent and The Guardian.
