Aids illegally (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abets

'aids illegally' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abets that I've seen before include "Aids in wrong-doing" , "Helps (someone to commit crime)" , "Aids and encourages" , "Assists or encourages" , "Assists in wrongdoing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
