Before the present (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ago

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">before the present</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 ago that I've seen before include "Time past" , "Gone, past, since" , "Back (in time)" , "(Years) before the present time" , "Previously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Mail and The Times.
