Mislaying (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

losing

'mislaying' is the definition.
('lose' can be a synonym of 'mislay')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for losing that I've seen before include "Logs in (anag.)" , "Opposite of 9" , "Failing to keep" , "Behind in a competition" , "Spice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and the Evening Standard.
