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 Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The Mirror, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, The Guardian, The Times and the LA Times.
