Approached (6)

I think it could be either:

neared

cameat

'approached' is the definition.
('near' can be a synonym of 'approach')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for neared that I've seen before include "Approached, drew close" , "Got closer" , "Drew nigh" , "Drew closer to" , "Approached, came close" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Newsday, The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
