Gets closer to (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nears

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

(Other definitions for nears that I've seen before include "Gets closer" , "Draws closer to" , "Draws close" , "Bears down" , "is approaching" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the USA Today, the Newsday, the Universal, the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Times, the Penny Press, the Newsday.com and The Washington Post.
