Slight error (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lapse

'slight error' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lapse that I've seen before include "A slight error or a passage of time" , "Momentary mistake" , "Error; oversight" , "Slip, error" , "Slip; sounds like circuits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard, The Sun, the Penny Press and The Telegraph.
