Tried to take a seat? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ran

'tried to take a seat?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Managed; hurried" , "at speed?" , "Was candidate" , "Took to one's heels" , "Sprinted" .)

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