Ran out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapsed

'ran out' is the definition.
(lapsing is a kind of running out)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lapsed that I've seen before include "declined" , "Expired over pedals" , "No longer active or practising" , "Became invalid through disuse" , "Pleads (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Newsday.
