Struck lightly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tapped

'struck lightly' is the definition.
('tap' can be a synonym of 'strike lightly')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tapped that I've seen before include "Intercepted (a phone)" , "Rapped lightly or drew upon" , "Struck lightly" , "Exploited (a resource)" , "Knocked; exploited" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
