Assist illegally (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'assist illegally' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Incite or encourage" , "Aid and help, perhaps in crime" , "Aid as in committing crime" , "Crookedly endorse" , "Assist wrongly!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
