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 Times, the LA Times, the Newsday, the Newsday.com, the L.A. Times Daily, the Penny Press, the USA Today, the Universal, The Washington Post and The Telegraph.
