Spread sloppily (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smear

'spread sloppily' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for smear that I've seen before include "Greasy or sticky mark" , "Medical examiner may take this" , "Unwarranted accusation" , "Spread dirty substance, try to damage reputation" , "Sully" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
