Came to the rescue (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aided

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

(Other definitions for aided that I've seen before include "'Assisted, helped (5)'" , "given assistance" , "not under their own steam?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
