Momentary slip (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "Pleas about omission" , "Go back to bad behaviour" , "unguarded moment" , "Error cause by weakness or inattention" , "Pass into disuse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today and The New York Times.
