Toward the rear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aft

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">toward the rear</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 aft that I've seen before include "near the tail" , "Farther back on board" , "Of ship, fat in the rear" , "Towards the stern of a boat" , "Near the stern" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
