Barely defeated (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

edged

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">barely defeated</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for edged that I've seen before include "Provided with a border" , "so moved forward slowly" , "Moved sideways slowly" , "Stole" , "with the ability to cut" .)

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