Aid a criminal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'aid a criminal' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Encourage (wrongdoing)" , "Assist in some nefarious activity" , "Aid (in wrongdoing)" , "Encourage (offence)" , "Aid and assist" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Penny Press.
