Take off, as weight (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lose

'take off as weight' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lose that I've seen before include "Mislay or be defeated" , "Don't win" , "Mislay - fail" , "Suffer a defeat" , "Fail to win" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
