Not quite out of St Malo (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

almost

'not quite' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'out of st malo' is the wordplay.
'out of' is an anagram indicator.
'st'+'malo'='stmalo'
'stmalo' is an anagram of 'ALMOST'.

(Other definitions for almost that I've seen before include "Not totally" , "Slightly short of" , "Not entirely" , "As good as" , "practically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
