Bring a paper with something missing (3)

I believe the answer is:

gap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something missing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bring a paper with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'GAP' is hidden in the letters of 'bring a paper'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gap that I've seen before include "Break in continuity" , "prospective students may enjoy this year?" , "A small parting, in hedge or teeth" , "A break or opening as in a hedge" , "Hiatus" .)
