<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">gets beaten</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(to lose is to get beaten)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for loses that I've seen before include "Fails to win" , "Is unable to find" , "Mislays or is defeated" , "Misoplaces" , "Misplaces" .)
