Aid in crime (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'aid in crime' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Assist illegally" , "Give aid to" , "Beat (anag.)" , "Egg on" , "Help a criminal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Mirror, The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Star Tribune, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
