Pass into disuse (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

'pass into disuse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "Slight error due to forgetfulness" , "Loss (in concentration, say?)" , "Cease to be valid" , "Slight error as caused by inattention" , "Pleas about omission" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Universal.
