Pats (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taps

'pats' is the definition.
('tap' can be a synonym of 'pat')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for taps that I've seen before include "Strikes lightly; eavesdropping devices" , "Uses listening devices" , "Bugs; valves" , "Flow controllers" , "Knocks gently" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
