Assist in crime (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abet

'assist in 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 "Help in wrongdoing" , "Help to do something wrong" , "Criminally endorse" , "Encourage or assist (someone) to commit crime" , "helpful" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
