Out of practice (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rusty

stale

'out of practice' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for stale that I've seen before include "No longer take" , "Not fresh, being least" , "no longer bearing interest?" , "No longer fresh" , "piss" .)

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