Extraordinary love or passable for miss? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlook

'miss?' is the definition.
('overlook' can be a synonym of 'miss')

'extraordinary love or passable' is the wordplay.
'extraordinary' is an anagram indicator.
'passable' becomes 'ok'.
'love'+'or'='loveor'
'loveor' with letters rearranged gives 'overlo'.
'overlo'+'ok'='OVERLOOK'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for overlook that I've seen before include "Fail to observe or consider" , "Ignore a fault or have a view from above" , "Ignore or fail to notice" , "excuse" , "Ignore or fail to see" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
