Accustomed to being exploited (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

used

This clue is a double definition.

'accustomed' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'being exploited' is the second definition.
('used' can be a synonym of 'exploited')

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for used that I've seen before include "not got directly" , "Not fresh" , "Second-hand; exploited" , "Accustomed - exploited" , "exhausted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
