Approaches (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

nears

comes

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">approaches</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('near' can be a synonym of 'approach')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

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

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, the LA Times, the Penny Press, The Sun, The New York Times, The Times, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
