Assist in a crime (4)

I believe the answer is:

abet

'assist in a crime' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abet that I've seen before include "Crookedly endorse" , "Aid and assist" , "support wrongdoing" , "Assist criminally" , "Help in wrongdoing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Evening Standard, The Independent, The New York Times and The Mirror.
