Slight mistake (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

'slight mistake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "Temporary failure of judgment or concentration" , "moral shortcoming" , "Sepal (anag)" , "Brief failure of judgement" , "Error; oversight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
