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