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 the entire 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 Telegraph, The Independent, the Newsday, The Mirror, The Sunday Times, the Universal, The New York Times, the LA Times, the USA Today, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, the Penny Press and The Wall Street Journal.
