Was defeated (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lost

'was defeated' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lost that I've seen before include "Not recognising one's whereabouts" , "Unable to find one's way" , "TV show" , "at sea" , "Forgotten; misplaced" .)

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