Fails to hit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misses

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">fails to hit</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 misses that I've seen before include "Fails to meet" , "Unmarried ladies" , "Unsuccessful attempts" , "Failures to hit" , "Young ladies; avoids" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Independent, the Irish Times (Simplex), the Evening Standard, the Universal, The Mirror, The Telegraph, The Irish Times and the Newsday.com.
