Word of apology (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorry

'word of apology' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sorry that I've seen before include "Showing regret" , "Contrite" , "Feeling penitent" , "My apologies!" , "I didn't quite catch that?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), the L.A. Times Daily, the Newsday.com and The Times.
