Unsuccessful (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

futile

'unsuccessful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for futile that I've seen before include "Trifling and ineffectual" , "Ineffectual,in vain" , "Useless, a waste of effort" , "In vain, a waste of time" , "Ineffectual, a waste of time" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Evening Standard.
