Temporary defeat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

set

(Other definitions for set that I've seen before include "Major segment of tennis match" , "Group of things of the same kind that belong together" , "Fix in place; similar group" , "Customary < scenery < a TV < series" , "Group; unchanging" .)

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