Be in debt (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owe

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">be in debt</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for owe that I've seen before include "Be in debt - woe is me" , "have favours to return" , "Be indebted" , "Ben in debt" , "Have obligation to pay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Telegraph, the USA Today, the Newsday, the Universal, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, The Independent, the Penny Press and The Sunday Times.
