Stares slack-jawed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gapes

'stares slack-jawed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for gapes that I've seen before include "Yawns" , "goggles" , "Looks on with open mouth" , "Looks amazedly into pages" , "Stares at with mouth wide open" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
