Fall behind (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lag

'fall behind' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lag that I've seen before include "An old one is a convict" , "Wrap water-pipes; fall behine" , "Convict (slang)" , "Wrap to protect from frost" , "Drop behind" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Newsday, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, The Sun, The Star Tribune, The Irish Times, The New York Times, the L.A. Times Sunday, The Mirror, the LA Times, The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate, The Times, the L.A. Times Magazine and the Universal.
