Temporary stage (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phase

'temporary stage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for phase that I've seen before include "Distinct stage" , "Period or stage in a process of change" , "Shape (anag.)" , "A particular point in the time of a cycle" , "Shape into stage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Newsday.com, The Chronicle of Higher Education, the L.A. Times Daily, the LA Times and the Newsday.
